Smart City, whose main characteristics are intelligence and interconnection capability, has become an important goal of some cities’ development. This paper, based on urban three-dimensional geographic information characteristics, analyses 3D geographic information requirements in the Smart City construction and development process, proposes construction and management methods for 3D geographic information. Furthermore, this paper takes Shanghai Geographic Information Public Service Platform as an example, discusses 3D geographic information application in multiple fields, and proves that it is an effective ways to promote Intelligent City construction.

Smart city – benefits and threats In recent years, the concept of “Smart City” has become visibly popular, setting the direction for the development of 21st century cities. However, is a completely uncritical approach to such a complex issue justified? Where do the competences of architects, urban planners, IT specialists and controlling governmental powers meet in such an “intelligent city”? This article presents important issues of data acquisition, system monitoring as well as security and privacy issues both by presenting and analyzing examples of already existing solutions from all around the world, but also giving some attention to the slowly rising number of “Smart city” initiatives in Krakow.

The main aspects of building a smart city according to Frost and Sullivan in 2014 are smart governance, smart technology, smart infrastructure, smart healthcare, smart mobility, smart building, smart energy and smart citizens. The smart city's purpose is to form a comfortable, safe city and strengthen its competitiveness. Based on these indicators, Taipei City can become one of the cities with the best Smart City implementation globally. This article uses a qualitative approach with literature review techniques in data collection. This study's findings indicate that the Smart Education, Smart Transportation, Smart Social Housing and Smart Healthcare policies are essential policies in supporting the successful implementation of smart cities in Taipei City. The four main pillars in implementing smart city in Taipei City have integrated Artificial intelligence and big data in smart city governance in Taipei City.

The paper is a follow-up of a previous investigation and effort to develop the ontology of the smart city (Komninos, N., Bratsas, C., Kakderi, C., and Tsarchopoulos, P. "Smart city ontologies: Improving the effectiveness of smart city applications". Journal of Smart Cities, vol. 1(1), 1-17. https://www.komninos.eu/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/2015-Smart-City-Ontologies-Published.pdf). Since the publication of this article in 2015, research and literature on smart cities have evolved significantly, as have the technologies for digital spaces and applications that support city functions. These developments are reflected in the present form of the smart city ontology 2.0 we propose. It depicts the building blocks of the smart city ontology (technologies, structure, function, planning), and the object properties and data properties that connect structural blocks and classes. The aim of the SCO 2.0 is to provide a better understanding and description of the smart/intelligent city landscape; identify the main components and processes, the terms used to describe them, their definition and meaning; clarify key processes related to the integration of the different dimensions of the smart city, mainly the physical, social, and digital dimensions. The paper is accompanied by an owl file, developing the ontology through the editor Protégé.

The aim of this paper is to define a method for uncovering smart city technology trends using competitive technical intelligence processes focused on intellectual property analysis using data visualisation. The authors introduce ways of gathering relevant core bibliographic data on the desired technology together with search preparation and query building. For demonstration purposes, the authors have used the European Patent Office datasets. The aim of this paper is to define a method for smart city competitive intelligence analysis focused on the main innovative companies and organizations and specific technology trends. The time period between the years 1997 and 2017 is used. Based on the results, the authors have indicated that Samsung is the leader in intelligent city innovations in this period. Five main product invention categories were also identified.

With the rapid development of the industrial Internet of Things and the comprehensive popularization of mobile intelligent devices, the construction of smart city and economic development of wireless network demand are increasingly high. SDN has the advantages of control separation, programmable interface, and centralized control logic. Therefore, integrating this technical concept into the smart city data management WLAN network not only can effectively solve the problems existing in the previous wireless network operation but also provide more functions according to different user needs. In this case, the traditional WLAN network is of low cost and is simple to operate, but it cannot guarantee network compatibility and performance. From a practical perspective, further network compatibility and security are a key part of industrial IoT applications. This paper designs the network architecture of smart city industrial IoT based on SDN, summarizes the access control requirements and research status of industrial IoT, and puts forward the access control requirements and objectives of industrial IoT based on SDN. The characteristics of the industrial Internet of Things are regularly associated with data resources. In the framework of SDN industrial Internet of Things, gateway protocol is simplified and topology discovery algorithm is designed. The access control policy is configured on the gateway. The access control rule can be dynamically adjusted in real time. An SDN-based intelligent city industrial Internet of Things access control function test platform was built, and the system was simulated. The proposed method is compared with other methods in terms of extension protocol and channel allocation algorithm. Experimental results verify the feasibility of the proposed scheme. Finally, on the basis of performance analysis, the practical significance of the design of a smart city wireless network hierarchical data management system based on SDN industrial Internet of Things architecture is expounded.

The smart city concept is a multi-faceted approach to urban development, allowing to combine determinants of competitiveness and sustainable development. Among the many concepts and visions of cities, the concept of intelligent city is becoming more and more popular. A smart city is a city that uses information and communication technologies to increase the interactivity and efficiency of urban infrastructure. The process of transforming urbanized areas under the influence of civilization changes, technological progress, globalization and increase of territorial competitiveness, aging of the society and growing ecological awareness creates new challenges in shaping the human life environment. The paper presents selected results of research on the evaluation of the concept of smart city on the example of Szczecin as an intelligent city. The main goal of the article is to determine the relationship between the concept of a smart city and the competitiveness of a modern city, understood as a standard of living of city’s inhabitants. The research method is a case study, based on a selected example of the city of Szczecin in Poland.
