Abstract Human and technological development allowed cities to be built upon structures to increase the quality of life of their citizens. But evolution also brought challenges like high consumption patterns and reduced natural resources. The chapter aims to provide common ground among the main concepts of smart cities and shed light on the often-elusive framework of the "smart city, " highlighting the need to incorporate a more holistic approach and integrate sustainable quality of life. A conceptual model was proposed and discussed, framing the dimensions: nature, infrastructure, technology, services, sustainability, and social. The influence of technology to better manage was also taken into account, without neglecting the importance of efficiency and innovation in a holistic system. The conclusions reinforce the composite nature, the need for more consistency, measurement scales, and the interconnectivity between management and its citizens, which is needed for better population well-being.
