Abstract
The purpose of this article is to summarize the current state of understanding the smart city concept and to present a proposed communication platform for the development of city services. The first part of the article is an introduction and definition of a smart city concept. This introduction gives an overview of various aspects - city services, smart infrastructure and facilities, using information and communication technologies, interconnection, feedback, and electronic and digital applications. The next part addresses individual challenges for the planning, development, and operation of cities. New solutions allow for use of different data on cities and meet the request for better city services. An overview of smart cities applications and services is given in the next section of the article. The deployment, implementation and approval of innovative internet based services and applications have to be made in order to permit facing the challenges of advanced cities. An overview of some aspects related to the technological solution of services is discussed in the summary section.
Highlights
The expression “smart city” has been used for several years by a number of technology companies and serves as a description for the application of compound systems to integrate the operation of urban infrastructure and services such as buildings, transportation, electrical and water distribution, and public safety [1]
This paper is a contribution to the understanding of smart city solutions and applications
It can be observed that the concept of a smart city is still somewhat unclear, definitions of a “smart city” vary broadly
Summary
The expression “smart city” has been used for several years by a number of technology companies and serves as a description for the application of compound systems to integrate the operation of urban infrastructure and services such as buildings, transportation, electrical and water distribution, and public safety [1]. There is a demand for smarter, effective, efficient and more sustainable cities, pushing the collective intelligence of cities onward, which can improve the ability to forecast and manage urban flows, and integrate the dimensions of the physical, digital and institutional spaces of a regional agglomeration. Urban development and improvement of the city has been turning towards technology. Smart cities use different information and communication technologies (ICT). The concept of a smart city integrates the dimensions of the physical, institutional and digital spaces of an agglomeration. This approach introduces aspects such as interconnection, feedback, self-organization, and adaptation in order to provide understanding of the almost organic growth, operation, and evolution of cities
