ABSTRACT
The economic world is changing rapidly, changing our benchmarks and opening up new economic opportunities.
The action of value creation has historically been formulated in time and in space. This article bases its observations on the evolution of these two benchmarks, proposing a coherence between the opportunities offered by the evolution of the context and the world of construction.
A first chapter highlights the cycles of creative destruction (time), with the digitalization of socio-economic districts (space).
A second, traces the evolution of the concept of Global Value Chain and its openness towards new paradigms such as the uberization of certain economic sectors. In its continuity it introduces the link between digital and the world of construction.
A third chapter presents the multi-scalar intervention chain and digital structure of the Smart City concept.
The conclusions will provide readers with a summary of developments.
Read this article from a comprehensive knowledge base, updated and supplemented with articles reviewed by scientific committees.

INTRODUCTION
Since the last crisis in 2008, our country has been going through a period of major economic change. To the observer, the destinies of the various countries in our civilization appear increasingly intertwined, in a kind of common trajectory. What is true here seems to be true elsewhere, and the only difference may be the way we approach the issues we face.
History reminds us that every economic action involving the creation, destruction and sharing of value takes place in a specific time and space.
This article aims to mobilize the concept of time in the interpretation of creative destruction cycles, theorized by economists Joseph Schumpeter and Nikolai Kondratieff .
Time is not understood as a simple calendar duration, but rather as a "wave" (Kondratieff wave) or "cycle of creative destruction" (according to the Schumpeterian interpretation).
These cycles are generated by one or more radical innovations, which in turn generate clusters of second-order innovations. Every new innovation cycle is linked to a specific period in economic history, and comprises an initial phase of growth reaching a so-called "plateau" effect, followed by a phase of "decline". Economic history shows us that these phases are punctuated by financial crises, highlighting the need for change in the interests of one's own company or nation.
The act of creating value is intimately linked to a place. This "economic space" has been observed from an academic angle since the beginning of the last century. Alfred Marshall
was one of the forerunners of the study of the geographical context of economic action. Marshall reminded us that specific productive features can characterize territories, orienting a community in a kind of atmosphere specific to the sector. Almost a century later, James Moore
