IT is transforming society, and has high impact
on infrastructure, transport systems, buildings
and in public spaces. Urban areas are rebuilding
the traditional technological scenario, with
systems that create new needs, discovering new
realities, and seeking new solutions. The aim of
this paper is to establish a methodology to set
an assessment tool for different technologies
in terms of their usefulness and consequences,
considering the impact of their applications.
With it, policy makers and influencers can
evaluate the advantages of each initiative,
the virtues of the available technologies and
systems, and the best way for it application in
Smart Cities.
