Abstract

This paper surveys the literature on smart cities in urban design. The smart city is the concept of utilizing information communication technology (ICT) in planning, designing, and managing cities. The domain of smart cities ranges from infrastructure, traffic management, public transportation, public health, urban planning, to governance. The benefits of adopting the advanced ICT in the city include the improved efficiency in city operation and management of assets and infrastructure. Transparent governance promotes civic empowerment and participation. Urban designers slowly began to apply smart city tools and research methods in understanding urban spaces despite the benefits. Application of smart city technologies are tested in various areas in urban design; 1) monitoring people’s use and activity in public space, 2) documenting the physical settings of public space, 3) finding the optimal urban form with environmental simulation, 4) operationalizing people’s perception, and 5) identifying potential space vulnerable for the crime. One of the biggest challenges in introducing smart cities in urban design is the discrepancy between reality and the abstract version of reality from sensors. Since urban design and public space study primarily deals with the quality of place and the social activities in streets, parks, and plazas, validating how the numeric data translates to the quality of environment and user behavior is a necessary next step.
