The use of information technologies is a revolutionary vision of urban design. It transforms life and work. I am looking for justification and preferential criteria that governs the choice of technology type.
I don't know exactly what you mean by intelligent and smart technology; I think you I talking about intelligent city and smart city. To answer to that question you should first identify your needs. Do you need an intelligent technology or a smart one and what are your goals and which one of those technologies is suitable to your needs and achieves your goals. I hope that I helped you.
The goal of 'Urban interiors' is to rediscover the city as a place for meeting and social gatherings. 'Urban interiors' is a significant disciplinary field in contemporary design researches because it appears as a territory in which the human being can express its subjectivity within larger communities, though which he can reaffirm faded identities and share stratified memories. So I am looking to evaluate appropriate those technologies in term of efficiency, impact, effectiveness, and relevance.
In general, when we talk about smart technologies, it about smart objects and Internet of Things (objects with sensors and actuators and exposed in the Internet). Intelligent technologies is about Information and Communication Technologies. So make a study of each one of them and compare.
An intelligent technology is the highest level technology consisting of but not restricted to communication complexes, ubiquitously rooted intelligence, sensors and tags and software applied to capture, store, analyse and provide solutions to real-time issues of interest. For instance, the use of Information communication technologies, artificial intelligence and data analytics in the efficient functioning of the composing parts of the urban interior whereas smart technology presupposes sustained intelligent technology application as well as the development of human capital, social capital and the environment for improved quality of life and wellbeing. I think smart urban interior should be used, smart urban interior entails use of artificial intelligence for the attainment of high quality of life for the inhabitants now and in the future.

" Bill Gates Xanadu 2.0
In 1995’s The Road Ahead, Bill Gates gave some details about how his futuristic home. Located on Lake Washington outside of Seattle in Medina, the gadgets inside the 66,000-square-foot compound (which was completed in 1997) sounded like sheer wizardry 20 years ago, but mere mortals can now afford some of the technology Gates boasted about — though the seven bedrooms, 24 bathrooms, and six kitchens are still likely out of reach.
“He wished the technology to be as invisible as possible,” architect Peter Bohlin, who designed the compound, along with James Cutler, told Philly.com in 1995. ”He and his wife wanted the spaces to be even more domestic. He intends to make it high-tech, but by magic. It’s invisible.” Even the outlets are hidden, according to U.S. News & World Report.
The house was outfitted with fiber optic cables and each room has its own touch pad to control lighting, music, and temperature. (Wink now makes similar products for $200). “First thing, as you come in, you’ll be presented with an electronic pin to clip to your clothes. This pin will connect you to the electronic services of the house,” Gates wrote in The Road Ahead. “The electronic pin you wear will tell the house who and where you are, and the house will use this information to try to meet and even anticipate your needs — all as unobtrusively as possible.” At the time, Gates speculated cameras might one day supplant the pins, as they’d be able to do facial recognition. He explained that the house would learn your preferences and adjust to your needs. Your affinity to dimmer lights, R&B, and Monet paintings would mean the lamps, music system, and screens would all adjust when you enter the room. A handheld remote helped you choose your settings, and while there’s no shortage of smart-home remotes today, it’s possible phones have replaced them in the Gates home. If you want the ability to adjust your artwork with the touch of a button or swipe of your hand, lots of digital frames can make your home a little more Gates-esque.
“A decade from now,” Gates wrote in his book, “access to the millions of images and all the other entertainment opportunities I’ve described will be available in many homes and will certainly be more impressive than those I’ll have when I move into my house in late 1996. My house will just be getting some of the services a little sooner.” We’re finally playing catch up, but since Gates is pretty mum about the current state of his abode, who knows how many decades he’s ahead of us all by now.
It took Gates seven years and $63 million to build his Medina, Washington estate, named Xanadu 2.0 after the fictional home of "Citizen Kane"'s Charles Foster Kane.
At 66,000 square feet, the home is absolutely massive, and it's filled with high-tech details.
3. A high-tech sensor system helps guests monitor a room's climate and lighting.
When guests arrive, they're given a pin that interacts with sensors located all over the house. Guests enter their temperature and lighting preferences so that the settings change as they move throughout the home. Speakers hidden behind wallpaper allows music to follow you from room to room.
4. The house uses its natural surroundings to reduce heat loss.
Xanadu 2.0 is an "earth-sheltered" house, meaning that it's built into its surroundings to regulate temperature more efficiently.
5. You can change the artwork on the walls with just the touch of a button.
$80,000 worth of computer screens are situated around the house. Anyone can make the screens display their favorite paintings or photographs, which are stored on storage devices worth $150,000.
6. The pool also has its own underwater music system.
The 60-foot pool is located in its own separate, 3,900-square-foot building. People in the pool could swim underneath a glass wall to come up to a terrace area on the outside.
14. The guest house is just as high-tech as the main house.
According to US News, the 1,900-square-foot guest house was the first building to be completed on the property. The house — which has its own bedroom and bathroom — was meant to be a test of the technology that would eventually be used in the main house.
Both Intelligence and smart should be there; agree with Dr Sajda Taha Mahmood; proper planning, improvement of quality of life, increase of practical efficiency, job opportunity and security, suatainable development, environmental awarness and proper economic growth should be there.
Urban design is the process of designing and shaping the physical features of cities, towns and villages and planning for the provision of municipal services to residents and visitors.
well I think that we should return to the origines of the words intelligent and smart become sometimes they are used to indicate the same thing; especially for smart cities ; we can use intelligent city to mean smart city.
