Abstract
A Smart City is supposed to refer to an idealised, technologically driven city with the antecedent use of big data and lots of information technology. More recently, however, we have come to accept that the Smart City is not just about using information technology or about the Internet of Things. These technologies are increasingly being recognized as just tools to achieve a Smart City and it is people who must come first in the Smart City Concept. All components of the Smart City Concept can be used to directly or indirectly improve urban health. These components range from renewable energy, healthcare infrastructure, urban vertical farming to smart homes and smart biometrics, all of which have a health component or can result in better health. These are in addition to the outbreak management of infectious diseases using smart technologies. This presentation will demonstrate how the components of a Smart City can be used to improve urban health.
