- Abstract: Converting the city into a "smart" one is the emerging strategy of
alleviating the problems generated by the rapid population growth in most urban
areas, i.e., urbanisation. However, as the rate in which the different concepts
of the smart city architecture are implemented is very high, academic research
pertaining these advancements simply can not keep up. To improve the existing
knowledge-base regarding the concept of smart cities, this paper reviews the
existing definitions, as well as its architectures, based on an in-depth
literature review of relevant studies and research fields alike. Additionally,
we also provide our own definition of the smart city concept.

We introduce LogiCity, the first simulator based on customizable first-order logic (FOL) for an urban-like environment with multiple dynamic agents.
LogiCity models diverse urban elements using semantic and spatial concepts, such as IsAmbulance(X) and IsClose(X, Y)
Key feature of LogiCity is its support for user-configurable abstractions, enabling customizable simulation complexities for logical reasoning.

We argue toward expanding the current smart city definition by integrating the circular economy as one of its central pillars.
We discuss the ways a smart and circular city encompasses both sustainability and smartness in an integral manner.
Previous research in smart cities and technologies, such as those related to Industry 4.0, can serve as a cornerstone to implement circular economy activities within cities.

Perspectives in Developing Cities [0.0]
The "Smart City" (SC) concept has been around for decades with deployment scenarios revealed in major cities of developed countries.
This paper presents a review of the SC concept from the perspective of its application to cities in developing nations.
We propose a conceptual model for a SC initiative in Africa and demonstrate the need to prioritize research and capacity development.

We build an urban region graph (URG) to model the urban area in a hierarchically structured way.
Then, we design a novel contextual master-slave framework to effectively detect the urban village from the URG.
The proposed framework can learn to balance the generality and specificity for UV detection in an urban area.
