Abstract
The aim of the paper is to determine the status of adoption of smart city initiative in Bratislava, capital of Slovakia, in relation to the air quality in the context of the current COVID-19 pandemic and its cost. Consistent with recently published studies, the results of our analysis did not show a significant improvement in all pollution parameters. The only significant improvement was observed for the NO2 pollutant. Following this fact, the results of an informant interview with the city of Bratislava can be interpreted, which unfortunately confirmed that the city lags significantly behind smart solutions to support air quality, although the pollution rate in Bratislava is relatively high and did not decrease significantly during 2020. Moreover, the economic costs of the effects of pollution are higher than its prevention.
