Abstract EN

The Smart City concept is still evolving and can be seen as a commercial promotional sign by large companies.

The technology used in Smart Cities is characterized by competencies and options that can allow cities to be "inclusive, secure, flexible and sustainable" as required on the UN agenda.

However, some important aspects of the design of smart cities, such as the neglect of cultural and historical heritage considerations, metabolism and governance, have been overlooked, leading to many problems such as urban degradation.

The research provides a review of literature on the nature, challenges and opportunities of smart cities.

Thus, a new framework for smart cities based on culture, metabolism and governance is proposed.

Current research findings can alert decision makers to an alternative view of the Smart City model, which focuses on urban outcomes rather than technology alone
