Technology such as wireless communication and ubiquitous computing is playing an increasingly important role in this context, helping to co-create solutions which can make the urban space „smarter‟. The city of Berlin is launching the project „Wireless City Berlin‟ (WCB) to demonstrate the potential of such technologies in multiple application scenarios. This paper analyses the terms „smart‟ and „wireless‟ with respect to urban development and introduces a typology of wireless city initiatives. Further, it presents the main work areas of the WCB project and relates it to other wireless city initiatives in Europe.}, language = {en} }
