Are you familiar with the concepts of Smart City, U-City, Eco-City, and Digital City?
These initiatives present a vision of
urban development in line with housing trends and technological advancements. In
particular, Smart City has been a prominent topic for more than a decade. Some
argue they are just marketing strategies for development projects. Yet, these
ambitions have made it possible to bring future cities closer.
Imagine a world where every object seems
alive and responsive. Traffic lights monitor flow, coordinate with others to
optimize signals, and share this information with individual vehicles.
Buildings adapt their energy use by managing heating and cooling based on
weather and occupancy. Bridges over rivers notify the central safety
headquarters when water levels rise, activating disaster response systems.
At home, devices like the boiler, air
conditioner, and robot vacuum seamlessly work together. When we say, "Let’s
clean," each appliance to do its job. The smart home goes beyond
maintaining a comfortable environment, automatically restocking your fridge,
unlocking doors, and even calling your car.
In "Beauty and the Beast," set in
medieval France, we can find parallels to the Smart City concept. When the
prince is cursed into a beast, the castle's staff transform into household
items—Lumière becomes a candelabra, Cogsworth a clock, and Mrs. Potts a teapot.
Despite their forms, they continue serving the Beast, managing tasks like
lighting, cleaning, and cooking, and even creating a romantic setting for
Belle. This ability of objects to act intelligently and
enhance convenience mirrors the essence of a Smart City.
