The Smart City theme currently pervades and overrides any other traditional urban issue. It represents a strategic priority of Horizon 2020 in which the various regions of Europe change vein locally when it comes to research and innovation. However, it seemed to us that despite the agreed pre-eminence of the theme, there was insufficient clarity as regards practical and operational consequences. Currently, all professional figures in charge of urban interventions and transformations, from technicians to politicians, talk about Smart Cities without a clear idea of the meaning, and above all, without knowing how to intervene in a European city to pilot its transformation. Naturally, this applies particularly to architects. In order to bring order to the theoretical thinking on design – which, albeit a predominantly practical action, requires a substrate to act as a foundation and guarantee a generalizable application – we asked the community of scholars to reciprocate with their own insights in the form of theoretical studies or practical experience on the theme, but not without first inductively expressing our own thoughts on the matter.
