Abstract Smart cities are those that use science, engineering, artificial intelligence, digital knowledge, and other technologies to progress the well-being of residents, boost economic development, and at the same time, promote and favor sustainability, as also to improve infrastructure, optimize urban mobility, and engender solutions sustainable, to generate efficiency in urban operations, this is, improving the population’s quality of life. Smart cities are automated and more sustainable cities, considering that technology is fundamental, but it is only a means to resolve a set of urban issues and attain purpose and goals that are increasingly essentials for large urban centers. This is achieved through the employment of advanced ICT (Information and Communications Technology) to stimulate sustainable development, and improvement in the quality of life, in which everything becomes connected. Through this, for example, it is possible to count on the fastest free public WiFi, i.e., high-speed internet for all residents and visitors and the interconnected functioning of traffic, lighting, public transport systems, among others. There are also discussions on reducing public spending and transparency in the relationship between government and citizens. It is evident, especially in large cities, that something must be done to increase the quality of life, public services, and sustainability. In addition to urban planning, it is necessary to invest in technological solutions that can be accepted and used by the residents of each smart city. Therefore, this chapter aims to provide a scientific major contribution related to the current overview of Smart City, approaching its essential concepts and fundamentals, with a concise bibliographic background, addressing its evolution and relationship with other technologies, as also categorizing and synthesizing the potential of technology. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
