“…The concept of a cognitive city is introduced to describe the socio–technical aspect and thus the interplay of humans and technology in smart city initiatives. A cognitive city recognises individuals and technical solutions as sources of information and knowledge, which augment cities´ possibilities to learn and adapt to changes that occur in the city environment [19, 56]. In the case of Helsinki, the urban designers have, as a result of exploiting digital twins in urban planning, been able to intensify the number of smart city experimentations and present more realistic city scenarios that draw on concrete, actual data.…”

A dynamic digital twin is a feasible solution that can be employed to build real-time connectivity between virtual and physical objects. Industries like manufacturing, aerospace and healthcare utilise dynamic digital twins for simulation, monitoring and control purposes, but recently, this nascent technology has also attracted the interest of urban designers. Due to the novelty of the dynamic digital twin in urban design, this research study addresses the concept of digital twin technology and investigates its applicability in so-called smart city settings. Drawing on results from research interviews and examples from the Digital Twin project in Helsinki city, the research illustrates that solid data infrastructure forms the foundation for urban digital twins and the development of future smart city applications and services. Furthermore, data-enriched digital twins evidently accelerate smart city experimentations and strengthen both learning and knowledge-based decision-making. Digital twins have also proved that they offer an environment in which smart city practitioners can bridge multi-stakeholder urban design teams through one digital platform.

“…When designing solutions based on cognitive technologies, especially in the case of services that will operate on a large scale, such as those dedicated to smart city solutions, in addition to the opportunities they provide, one must also keep in mind the risks. One of such risks may be digital security risks, which most often occur at the level of data and information processing, including with big data, Internet of Things (IoT) or, for example, with intelligent traffic management or advanced use of video surveillance [21]. First of all, three categories of such threats should be noted: cyberwarfare, cybercrime, and cyberterrorism [22].…”

The purpose of this paper is to indicate the possibility of applying cognitive technologies in smart city services and analyze their impact on strategic management in the city. The subject of this study is the use of cognitive technologies in big data as one of the tools of smart city. The study also identifies the risks that may occur when using modern technologies at the local level. At the same time, it refers to features that can provide a form of safeguards for an individual’s rights and freedoms. This article also covers legal issues that affect the use of cognitive technologies in local government units. This paper indicates that the challenge that local governments should now meet is to build a Smart Sustainable City. Implementation of modern solutions should strive to improve the lives of all residents and thus prevent the exclusion of social groups or individuals.

“…This is due to the fact that the latter one comprises three last levels of the model and namely: level of open integration, level of application and the level of innovativeness. Recently an increasing popularity is gained by the notion of a cognitive city, which is characterised by the ability of memory creation based on experience and observation (Moyser and Uffer 2016). This concept will be discussed in more detail in the further part of this paper.…”

The paper attempted to define the basis of city transformations that conform to the smart concept. The objective of the paper is to relate the concept of a smart city, which is quite frequently discussed in literature related to the subject, with functioning and development of the city's economy, in a way that would allow monitoring economic processes taking place in the city, and also to find a response to the question as to the extent to which the smart city creates a new city economy. Does it expand the city economy by new elements, generate new economic mechanisms, allow the implementation of growth paths different than those to date? This objective is particularised by a description of selected issues of urban economics. With this in mind the paper discusses an approach to managing supply and demand on the basis of theoretical assumptions defined by Mudie and Cottam (1993) transposed on realities connected with provision of municipal public services in conditions of a smart city. Furthermore, sample solutions were presented related to the smart city, which reflect theoretical conclusions contained in the paper. The paper ends with a presentation of logics related to growing economy in a smart city. The economy of a smart city, ultimately an intelligent economy of the city, is created in a laminar way. Under the pressure of technological, social and political surroundings the city is permeated by social and culture intelligence, forming gradually a new economic quality. In the paper we emphasised that the concept of a smart city still remains a question of the future to a much bigger extent than one of the present time. A smart city slowly emerges from the combination of diverse megatrends and development trends characteristic for communities and economies of the second decade of the 21st century.
