Connected systems in smart cities: use-cases of integration of buildings information with smart systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Realisation of smart cities is highly dependent on innovative connections between the deployed systems in the cities. This implies that successfully deployment of individual smart systems which meet citizens’ needs, is not sufficient to make a city smart.
