Although many definitions of the term exist, smart cities are typically understood as places where technology is used as catalyst to achieve targeted goals, whether it is to achieve greater efficiency in managing city resources, render the administration more transparent, allowing better communication between organizations and citizens, or all of the above! My thesis focuses on Montreal and its own process to become "smarter", most precisely its new snow removal system that includes the INFO-Neige Mtl app and the SIT-Neige management software. . Through analysis of Montreal’s strategy document as well as interviews with key actors involved in the transition, the purpose of my research is to understand what is "new" or "different about the so-called smart cities.
