Internet of Things 2014 "Smart City – Smart Environment?"

Since Kevin Ashton coined the term Internet of Things in 1999 the issue has, especially over the last couple of years, developed with an astonishing speed. Now, some 15 years in, the IoT has changed from focusing on ‘things’ to an emphasis on ‘everything’, with a more recent articulation into ‘people’. Parallel came the development of the Smart City; however still with a background to much focused on/derived from available infrastructure and ict and less on the needs and wishes of the cities inhabitants.
