In English, the term “smart” can mean “an elegant, refined person”. In urban planning, the Smart City has been translated as “Intelligent City”.

From the beginning, in around 2010, the “Architecture and Climate” team thought that a Smart City is not a High Tech City. Nowadays, the connection between the two is often made.

Based on this observation, we say that humankind must remain at the heart of our concerns in three fields: economy, society and the environment.

And everything High Tech-related should be at the service of these concerns.

Nowadays, there is a new buzzword appearing in the literature and in thought: quantum. Not much reflection has been given to its meaning yet.

All these suggested concepts have been developed by the “Architecture and Climate” research team¹ from the Faculty of Architecture, Architectural Engineering and Urban Planning of the University of Louvain-La-Neuve, in Belgium.

To develop a team, a real team, in the sense of a football or a rugby team, you have to bring people together through goals that everyone can share.
