• Abstract: In response to challenges posed by urbanization, David Bollier from the University of Southern California raised a new idea for city planning: a comprehensive network and applications of information technologies. IBM later echoed the idea and initiated its Smart Planet vision in 2008. After that, the smart city concept was quickly adopted by major cities throughout the world, and it has gradually evolved into a strategic choice by ambitious cities. This paper looks into the smart city trend by reviewing how the concept of smart city was proposed and what the essence of a smart city is. More specifically, the driving forces of the smart city development in China are investigated, and the key differences of smart cities between China and other countries are summarized. Finally, four big challenges to build future smart cities are discussed.

• When Circular Economy Meets the Smart City Ecosystem: Defining the Smart and Circular City [0.0]
  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.

  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.

  We propose to quantify fashion influences from everyday images of people wearing clothes. We introduce an approach that detects which cities influence which other cities in terms of propagating their styles. We then leverage the discovered influence patterns to inform a forecasting model that predicts the popularity of any given style at any given city into the future.
