Abstract

This chapter addresses smart cities not simply as a technological deployment, but as a space where different branches of engineering complement each other. It analyzes some of the contributions of mechanical, mechatronic, electrical, electronic, computational, and chemical engineering, highlighting how each of them, from its perspective, integrates innovative and preferred factors to make a city more efficient, safe, and, above all, tailored to its inhabitants. It also presents some specific examples of the implementation and management of smart cities and governments, such as Barcelona, Singapore, New York, and Amsterdam. The text details some of the actions these places have taken to become smart. It analyzes how the knowledge contributed by different branches of engineering articulates with the Internet of Things, electrical grids, and the mechatronic design of smart sensor networks to give rise to innovative systems.
