Abstract


In order to deal with population growth, governments need to hire new policies for the creation of Smart Cities. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are keys to achieve this goal. This article presents a discussion about the steps to be taken for gradually achieving smart cities. So, we propose a model of technological maturity.
Keywords: Model, Technological Maturity, Smart Cities
