Abstract
In September 2023, the INCOSE Smart Cities Initiative released a framework to evaluate and define smart city systems. It includes a human-centered definition of a smart city and offers metrics of a smart city. The framework allows consistent evaluation of city that focuses on providing for fundamental human needs. This case study is a qualitative analysis to apply the definition and framework. It provides an opportunity to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the new INCOSE framework.
