Abstract

The treatment of the smart city and its development has many similarities with the treatment of urban infrastructure. Many interpretations can be given to the concept of smart city in some cases it is a subject in the process of consolidation. However, a key to understanding is that the concept of smart city begins to take shape coinciding with the take shape of the concept of urban infrastructure. It is precisely the discussion of the different types of urban infrastructures that serve to better understand the form and substance of smart cities. Probably without a connection of the variables that make up the urban infrastructure it would have become difficult to define the concept of smart city. A strong link is represented by ubiquitous infrastructure in characterizing the concept of urban infrastructure and at the same time of smart city. In an extreme form, and in an equally extreme and selective reading, it can be said that the smart city is the planned and ideal conjunction typical of several types of urban infrastructure and therefore is itself an urban infrastructure.
