Abstract:
Abstract—Intelligent systems sense and react to their environment. They are amenable to change, heterogeneous, sustainable and secure. By their nature, cities develop due to various preconditions affirmative to local sustenance of their inhabitants. They are complex systems that encounter ranging pressures stemming from urbanization to uncontrolled socio-technical effects. To control and manage these pressures, various suggestions, frameworks and concepts have been proposed including but not limited to transitioning into Smart Cities. It is relatively accurate that most cities will aspire to be Smart merely for the perceived benefits of such a state. Nonetheless, the research on attainability and progress measurement is varied and deferring in this regard. In this paper, five incremental levels of the city’s intelligence journey are proposed: Insulation, Micro-Functional, Macro-Functional, Spatial Dominance, Self-Orchestration and Astute.
