Smart cities architectures are becoming increasingly complex, requiring the interaction of several macro-components layers. At the same time, the geolocated information, captured by the pervasive sensing, and processing layers become increasingly complex, needing intelligent processing to unleash the full potential. 

In this framework, several experiences and applications are emerging: they span from the Smart Grid platforms (water distribution, electric and telco networks, etc.), to the platforms for the urban governance or for supporting citizen-centric participatory processes. 

Interoperability and intelligent processing systems may help to develop new integrated platforms (geospatial-based) capable of new performance horizons.
