The Smart Cities Concept

• a pathway to sustainable urban development
• implementation of modern technologies to manage the city with the goal of improving the quality of life and streamlining the administration of public affairs
• the most extensive application of the concept – in the fields of transport, energy, and implementation of modern information and communication technologies (ICT)
• application in other areas, e.g., waste management, water management, e-government, and crisis management
• The Smart Cities concept is a gradual process, never a status

• a higher quality of life, energy savings, faster and safer transport, more nature in cities, intelligent infrastructural solutions, fast communication with official offices
• solutions to the problematic issues cities face
• ecological environments
• living space for future generations

“The Smart Cities concept is a united change; a change in our thinking, our approach towards public space and our society. The goal isn’t only to implement modern technological amenities but also to create a strong relationship and sense of belonging for the citizen and cities, i.e., a mutually-shared condition where the city influences the citizen’s life. In contrast, the citizen, in turn, impacts the life and development of the city.”
