The concept of the smart city or intelligent city has been on everyone's lips these days, due to the recently concluded Smart City Ecuador International Congress held in the South American country. But what does the smart city concept consist of and which cities worldwide have the best parameters in this area?  

Smart cities, also known as digital cities or connected cities, are urban environments that use information and communication technologies (ICT) to improve the quality of life of their inhabitants, optimise resource management and promote sustainable development.

The smart city concept is based on the integration of various urban infrastructures and services, such as transport, energy, housing, security, health and governance, through the implementation of advanced technologies. These technologies include sensors, communication networks, data analysis, geographic information systems and mobile applications, among others.
