An Intuitionistic Fuzzy Approach for Smart City Development Evaluation for Developing Countries: Moroccan Context

Rapid urbanization to meet the needs of the growing population has led to several challenges such as pollution, increased and congested traffic, poor sustainability, and impact on the ecological environment. The conception of smart cities comprising intelligent convergence systems has been regarded...

The conception of smart cities comprising intelligent convergence systems has been regarded as a potential solution to overcome these problems.
