Cities are inherently complex and vastly interrelated challenges. Meanwhile, the rapid growth of cities is not commensurate with the capacity to expand their infrastructure and imposes increasing pressure on urban infrastructure. In other words, it is beyond their capacities and capabilities. Therefore, they always suffer from adverse consequences. One of the new concepts to meet the current challenges of cities in the field of urban planning is the development of smart cities that integrate physical and virtual capabilities. The trend of smart cities in Tehran has started a few years ago. In this study, the current situation of Tehran was evaluated and the strengths and weaknesses of Tehran Smart City were identified, and appropriate strategies and measures to continue the trend of moving Tehran City towards Smart City. The research method in this research is descriptive-analytical. SWOT analysis method and internal matrices (IFE) and external (EFE) were used for research. The results of this study show that all the necessities that have led cities in the world to smart approaches are also applicable in Tehran and the situation of Tehran in the trend of smart city in Tehran is appropriate. According to the strategy selected in this research, which is the Maxi-Maxi or SO strategy, the city of Tehran can continue the smart city trend by using its strengths and investing in opportunities and achieve the desired goals.

This study examines how the presence of "Madani Smart Card" and "Child Identity Card" which is a program rather than the development of smart cities in the city of Pekanbaru. Smart city which then emerged as one of the hot discourses was discussed in the discourse on sustainable development, which in this case will be applied in every city in all corners of the world. The author then in this study uses qualitative research methods, where data and field findings will be presented descriptively. By measuring how the causes of the two smart cards are presented, the author tries to find an understanding of any urgency that arises or real problems faced by Pekanbaru City. So in the theoretical framework the writer uses Dye's theory in analyzing the process of program formulation or termination and policies taken by the government, in this case the Pekanbaru City government. The findings which were then obtained by the authors through this research are that after referring to the Pekanbaru City Medium Term Development Planning 2017-2022 document, finally the author can pick up or know the backrest and framework that presents the two smart card program. So that from this study the authors can get the following results: First, theoretically the presence of the two smart card program will have a good impact on the ability or literacy of technology and information usability in the city of Pekanbaru. Second, the implementation of the two smart card program would have been right on target if it referred to one of the problems facing the city of Pekanbaru. Third and finally, although the presence of this program is good in some respects, on the other hand there are holes that should be prioritized to be patched actually by the city government through its innovations, one example of how the poor or marginal in the city can be utilized through the concept of smart city (smart city) and its development there. Penelitian ini menelaah tentang bagaimana kehadiran “Kartu Smart Madani” dan “Kartu Identitas Anak” di mana merupakan program daripada pengembangan kota pintar (smart city) di Kota Pekanbaru. Smart city yang kemudian muncul sebagai salah satu wacana yang hangat di perbincangkan dalam diskurus mengenai pembangunan berkelanjutan, yang dalam hal ini akan di terapkan di setiap kota di seluruh penjuru dunia. Penulis kemudian dalam penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif, di mana data dan hasil temuan lapangan akan di sajikan secara deskriptif. Dengan menakar bagaimana penyebab dihadirkannya kedua kartu pintar tersebut, penulis mencoba untuk mencari pengertian dari setiap urgensi yang muncul atau permasalahan yang nyata di hadapi oleh Kota Pekanbaru. Sehingga dalam kerangka teoritis penulis memakai teori dari Dye dalam menganalisis proses perumusan atau pemutusan program serta kebijakan yang diambil oleh pemerintah, dalam hal ini pemerintah Kota Pekanbaru. Temuan yang kemudian di dapatkan oleh penulis lewat penelitian ini adalah setelah merujuk pada dokumen Rancangan Pembangunan Jangka Menengah  Kota Pekanbaru 2017-2022 akhirnya penulis bisa mengambil atau mengetahui sandaran serta kerangka kerja yang menghadirkan program dua kartu pintar tersebut. Sehingga dari penelitian ini bisa penulis dapatkan hasil sebagai berikut: Pertama, secara teoritis kehadiran program dua kartu pintar ini akan berdampak baik terhadap kecakapan atau literasi teknologi dan dayaguna informasi di kota Pekanbaru. Kedua, pengimplementasian daripada program dua kartu pintar ini kiranya sudah tepat sasaran jika merujuk kepada salah satu permasalahan yang dihadapi kota Pekanbaru. Ketiga dan terkahir, walaupun kehadiran program ini dalam beberapa hal baik adanya, namun di sisi lain terdapat lobang yang seharusnya lebih didahulukan untuk ditambal sebenarnya oleh pihak pemerintah kota melalui inovasi-inovasinya, salah satu contohnya bagaimana masyarakat miskin atau marginal di kota tersebut dapat didayagunakan lewat konsep kota pintar (smart city) dan pengembangannya di sana.

AbstractIn this article the current and most important standards focusing on smart city sector and organizations issuing them were presented. The standard-setting family for smart cities consists of four basic standards: ISO 37101, ISO 37120, ISO 37122 and ISO 37123. The paper also presents the indicators on the basis of which a city can apply for a certificate of ISO 37120 standard and presents the possibilities of a register of different cities from all over the world in the Global Cities RegistryTM, developed by WCCD (World Council on City Data). Thanks to the data contained in the database, city authorities can answer the question: How prosperous is my city? and compare with other cities from around the world. As an example of the use of WCCD data, a comparison of 21 European cities in terms of the amount of renewable energy consumption in relation to the size of population living in the city has been presented.

By 2100, the world may be entirely urbanized with every person living in cities. This imminent reality of planetary urbanization is likely to entail drastic environmental, economic, and social changes, all of which in turn are likely to impact the nature of human relations and their interactions in cities. Urban ethics is, therefore, concerned with the question of what ought to be the proper relations between people flourishing in the city? This question is presently compounded by the rise of the ‘smarter smart cities’, where urban technologies are enabled by artificial intelligence (AI) that can sense, track, learn, predict, and attempt to control human behaviors. The rapid confluence of these three developments, namely, planetary urbanization, urban ethics, and the AI-powered smart city, reveals an under-explored scenario pregnant with new social promises yet laced with many moral hazards. In this article, the following scenario, which is bounded by the following three vectors, will be examined: (i) How does the urban shape the ethical, and in what ways? (ii) What is the AI-powered smart city, and how does it impact the present notion of planetary urbanization? (iii) How does the AI-powered smart city change ethical agencies and in which specific ways? Together, the answers to these questions begin to further prime discussions in urban bioethics in the milieu of AI-powered cities.

The issue of how to power the deployed Internet of Things (IoT) nodes with ubiquitous and long lasting energy in order to ensure uninterruptible optimisation of smart cities is of utmost concern. This among other challenges has continued to gear efforts toward energy harvesting research. With the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown that nearly paralysed activities of everyday living in many nations of the world, option of human remote interaction to enforce social distancing became imperative. Hence, the world is witnessing a renewed awareness of the importance of IoT devices, as integral components of smart city, especially for the essence of survival in the face of lockdown. Energy harvesting is a possible solution that could enable IoT nodes to scavenge self-sustaining energy from environmental ambient sources. In this paper, we have reviewed most sources within city that energy could be harvested from, as reported by researchers in literature. In addition, we have submitted that energy sources can be application specific, such that, since there are many free sources in the city as presented in this review, energy should be scavenged within close proximity of need for various IoT devices or wireless sensor networks (WSNs), for smart city automation.
