“…The idea of a SC first appeared in 1993 when Singapore city presented itself as an "intelligent city", in [1]. Between 2000 and 2010, the concept of a "digital city" emerged and was closely related to the idea of a SC, although there are some nuances between the two concepts.…”

Technology is starting to play a key role in cities’ urban sustainability plans. This is because new technologies can provide them with robust solutions that are of benefit to citizens. Cities aim to incorporate smart systems in their industrial, infrastructural, educational, and social activities. A Smart City is managed with intelligent technologies which allow improving the quality of the services offered to citizens and make all processes more efficient. However, the Smart City concept is fairly recent. The ideas that it encompasses have not yet been consolidated due to the large number of fields and technologies that fit under this concept. All of this led to confusion about the definition of a Smart City and this is evident in the literature. This article explores the literature that addresses the topic of Smart Cities; a comprehensive analysis of the concept and existing platforms is performed. We gain a clear understanding of the services that a Smart City must provide, the technology it should employ for the development of these services, and the scope that this concept covers. Moreover, the shortcomings and needs of Smart Cities are identified and a model for designing a Smart City architecture is proposed. In addition, three case studies have been proposed: the first is a simulator to study the implementation of various services and technologies, the second case study to manage incidents that occur in a Smart City, and the third case study to monitor the deployment of large-scale sensors in a Smart City.

“…Coining of the term came about in the context of the emerging information or knowledge economy and the exploration of the role of metropolitan areas within it. With predecessors and contemporaries such as the information city (Hepworth 1987), the technopolis (Smilor et al 1989) and the intelligent city (Heng and Low 1993), in essence these city concepts revolved around interactively linking "technology commercialisation with the public and private sectors to spur economic development and promote technology diversification" (Smilor et al 1989, p. xiii), where local governments would strategically deploy the emerging networking and data transmission and storage technologies towards this goal (Hepworth 1987). Singapore has been an early adopter of the technopolis strategy (Heng and Low 1993).…”

Henri Lefebvre's urgent utopia of right to the city to achieve a new form of urban governance that moves beyond both capitalism and state bureaucracy seems timely with the increasing critiques of how techno-centric, top-down and corporatedriven smart cities are ill-equipped to deliver their promised civic, economic and political benefits. The exploration of the smart city through Lefebvre's lens enables the reconceptualisation of the emerging notion of participatory city-making as a translation of the right to the city into practice. This chapter seeks, thus, to further unpack the concept of participatory city-making and, by linking it to operational concepts and proposing a taxonomy for the classification of initiatives that shape the city, clear a path forward towards systemic change.

“…There are also many variants of the concept how Smart City should work or which elements should be a part of a Smart City grid. Urban management plans based on the methodology of a smart grid have been developed for many metropolises, for instance, Singapore 3 or Vienna. 4 The main goals for developing Smart Cities are to pursue:…”

Polish international obligations, in particular the European Union and European Commission directives, pose a real challenge for Poland to radically reduce emissions of atmospheric pollutions and significantly increase the usage of energy coming from renewable sources in the overall energy balance of the country. These goals seem to be difficult to achieve, nevertheless the development and implementation of innovative concepts is always a step forward. Nowadays the renewable energy sources seem to be the panacea for the problems of pollutions and energy saving. Many inventors and scientists work on concept of smart grid technology. The basic concept of this technology is producing energy directly in the cities. It seems to be a good idea but often in urban areas there is no place for new installations or cost of land is the barrier. Therefore to produce and manage energy directly in the cities, we have to take into account many aspects such as cost of land, location, available renewable energy sources, number of inhabitants, electrical network, terrain obstacles, and local plans. Here is the good place to use geographic information system technology which can help us to analyze all these issues and combine spatial, satellite, and statistical data to create one coherent concept of managing various sources of energy in the cities. The aim of this study is to consider opportunities of using geographic information systems in supporting process of energy management in the cities. It was taken into account many important elements: solar conditions, impact of cloudiness on value of solar radiation, spatial data, buildings and electrical network, obstacles, and number of inhabitants. It is all for identify the advantages and disadvantages of geographic information system in the analysis of solar energy potential in the city.
