For this very reason, the semantics of an era can be grasped, to be fair, much more easily by looking at a city plan than by understanding its albeit important laws. 7 It is precisely in the mark of this inclination of the city that a brilliant storyteller, who has written unforgettable pages about the city, warned us in the past that we do not enjoy the seven or seventy-seven wonders of it, but the answers it will be able to give to one of our questions. 8 We cannot here retrace the urban planning patterns that have spanned human history, from the Neolithic to the present day via the Greek and Roman cities9 , but we can certainly agree that over the past two centuries the way of understanding the government of the land the environment10 and the landscape has progressed hand in hand with the evolution of industrial civilization, evolving toward complete building in urban centers, mainly for reasons of social cohesion, until more recently, also with a view to more efficient and effective hospitality policies, the search for increasingly smartness models of land use.11 Certain neologisms of the new polis arise precisely within this changed sociopolitical scenario that immediately stands as a fertile ground for the flowering of new ideas such as the one having as its object the smart city that most touches us in this analysis. The idea of a techno-city, variously adjectifiable, with a high automation content where especially the so-called ICTs were supposed to make the difference in view of a paradigm shift that in the years to follow would in turn have to confirm a qualifying semantics of the city of the future increasingly the child of a broad, inclusive, systemic and transversal etymology, capable of attracting and resolving at the same time - conceptually in root and operationally in praxis 7 In this regard, read the valuable work by P.
