Integrating smart home technologies provides an effective solution to today's energy management challenges. Every day our society faces increasing resource consumption, and smart homes offer a comprehensive approach to solving these problems. Energy management systems such as smart thermostats and renewable energy integration demonstrate significant reductions in energy consumption, cost savings and improved user experience. There are still threats to these technologies, such as data security, but the practical implementation of smart home technologies has already brought tangible results, providing a glimpse into more efficient and sustainable economic development. Collaborative efforts by researchers, engineers and policymakers are critical to realizing the full potential of smart homes as a testament to human innovation and technological progress.

In addition, and related to the purpose of this text, the nocturnal city has never been a central element in the history of urban theory in the Global North, South and East.…”
