37 Conclusion
Conclusion Smart City requires a holistic approach. To become a smart city needs a kind of change management. Understand urban life primarily as a social, and only secondary as a technical and logistic problem. You have to involve the people. Build strong partnerships between the city, the research sector and the industrial sector. Smart city is an economic opportunity. Focus the money on internationally visible projects. The goal is appliance, not basic research. The Smart City approach is also a fundamental economic and political issue for Europe. 38
