“…When sustainability becomes a part of the equation then these cities are touching "smart" [12], which raises an even bigger question; are smart cities considered sustainable developments? In fact, many cities around the world are turning into sustainable approaches to help overcome global warming and climate change that is largely caused due to the increased populations and pollutions within cities, high consumption of natural resources, and insufficient environmental considerations, those approaches are highly costly and that is why cities have been turning their attention into achieving "smart" in a city because the smart city concept promises sustainability at a much-reduced price [13]. However, if we state that smart cities are sustainable cities, we need to learn the goals of a smart city to understand how it can bring sustainability at its three pillars (environmental, social, and economic) into "smart".…”

Recently, urban growth has become a major concern, and it will remain so in the coming years as the majority of individuals living in cities expand. As a result, urban planning must devise answers to the difficulties that inevitably arise as a result of this indisputable rapid urbanization. From this perspective, this study will be looking at how smart information and communication technology (ICT) might help to improve eco-social and environmental sustainability within urban contexts.The purpose of this article is to perform a broad examination of how ICT can contribute to the creation of a large scale smart city to a small scale smart campus. Within its descriptive narrative approach, the study presents an overview of real cases. The study will conclude in setting a comparative between small to large scale smart city motivations through the lessons learned from the overviewed cases. Towards bringing an understanding of the approaches taken towards transforming existing urban contexts of several scales into a sustainable scheme, and sustaining smart into them for short to long term planning and implementation benefits.

“…The solution presented in this paper is based on discussions with experts and companies involved in the design, construction, and management of utility tunnels, as well as on the experience of the authors in the design and implementation of smart solutions for urban utilities [16][17][18][19], in addition to the construction of a large-scale demonstrator of a smart city [20]. The smart solution is presented in two parts.…”

This paper presents a smart solution for the utility tunnel, which allows hosting a wide range of water and energy utilities in an accessible underground space. It is well known that utility tunnels offer major advantages such as the possibility to inspect, maintain, and easily extend urban utilities without excavation, thereby eliminating disturbances related to urban excavation such as traffic jams, noise, pollution, and pavement degradation. However, despite these advantages, the effective development of this facility remains below expectations, because of serious challenges related to the security and governance of this “shared space”. The solution presented in this paper is based on discussions with experts and companies involved in the design, construction, and management of utility tunnels, as well as on the authors’ experiences in the design and implementation of smart solutions for urban utilities. The paper firstly presents the major challenges of utility tunnels and then discusses how theb smart technology could help in coping with these challenges. The paper presents the architecture of this solution, as well as the main layers of monitoring, information system data analysis, and system control. It also presents the methodology to be followed for the implementation of this smart solution. Finally, the paper discusses two major issues for utility tunnels: fire risk and risk assessment. The paper shows that the use of smart technology allows developing a comprehensive digital solution, which uses advanced monitoring system to collect real-time data about the tunnel environment and functioning. These data can be easily shared by authorized staffs. Analysis of these data allows improving the utility tunnel security and performances.

“…Solution architectureThe transformation of the water system of the Education City into a smart water system requires an integrated approach with a unique smart platform, which ensures data collection, data storage, data analysis, data visualization and operation control. The smart water system presented in this section is based on researches and achievements of SunRise project conducted at Lille University(Shahrour et al 2017, Farah and Shahrour 2017, Saab et al 2018 as well as the outcome of the European project SmartWater4Europe (SW4EU, 2017).…”

This paper presents the transformation of the water system of the Education City in Doha (Qatar) into a smart water system. This city covers an area of 14 km2 and includes 80 buildings. The water system provides drinking, irrigation and fire protection services. It suffers from the use of fragmented management systems and from a lack of real-time monitoring, which result in a deterioration of efficiency of the water system and users’ information The paper describes the water system and then the architecture of the smart water solution and its use for leak detection, water quality control and operation safety.
