Smart Cities is a concept that has been developed during the last years,
but still our cities are far away from smartness, in terms of how they
exchange information beyond the social networks. The IGS points out the
question how we can think about the cities of the future, not in terms
on a new brutalism construction, but in how we optimized the constructed
environment, how we can take advantage of that invisible layer of
information, and how we generate a platform to understand the relations
of energy, environment, production, economy and resources into the city.
