One of the goals of smart cities is for their residents to live as comfortably as possible, at the highest possible standard of living, and for this, the existence of smart homes is essential. However, smart homes have so far not received much attention in smart city concepts, especially in Hungary. This study discusses definitions of smart cities and smart homes and asks how smart homes can contribute to increasing the performance of smart cities. I created a simplified model based on my search of the literature, which I supplemented with two new factors, which are emphasize the importance of people and education / communication.

Smart Homes and Offices (SHO) are composed of interlinked components with constant data transfer and services targeted at increasing the lifestyle of the people. This chapter describes about the smart components and how SHO are direct implementation of Internet of Things (IOT). The major paradigm in this chapter is appliances supporting smart aspects of SHO, their applications and change in technology in context of smart Homes and Offices. Here we have also discussed the standardization and personalization of gadgets and how it has been increasing our standard of living. Finally, the chapter focuses on privacy preserving mechanisms, its essence over smart cities, strong architecture related to privacy, preserving mechanism, and various approaches available that can retaliate these issues in a smart city environment.

The article is meant to analyze various strategies and models for the development of smart cities, as well as the concept of project financing of smart cities, proposed by Pietro Doran, one of the founding partners of the world’s first smart city built from scratch in South Korea — Songdo. The authors believe that Songdo’s financing model, based on P. Doran’s Project Model can be considered as an effective way to attract investment in greenfield projects for the development of «smart cities» in Russia on the basis of public-private partnership.

ABSTRACTSmart people are the basis of the realization of Smart Cities. This relates to the formation of smart cities, must have intelligent human resources and supported by policies and infrastructure of mobility, governance, economy and environment that are also smart to produce the quality of life as intelligent as desired. Semarang City Government, has been implementing the concept of smart cities since 2013. This travel program is very dynamic in the field. For this reason, it is necessary to consider the effectiveness of the application of the smart city concept by the Semarang City Government to the community. The assessment carried out is by calculating the Human Development Index (HDI) or can also be called the Human Development Index (HDI). Through this evaluation, making information about the application of the Smart Cities concept specifically reviews aspects of human development. ("The process of enlarging people's choices"). Longevity and healthy living, knowledge level and decent standard of living of the community. These findings serve as well as feedback for the implementation of the Smart Cities policy for future policy refinement.Keywords: Human Development Index, intelligence, effectiveness ABSTRAKSmart people merupakan dasar dari terwujudnya akan Smart City. Hal ini dikarenakan untuk membentuk suatu kota yang cerdas, harus memiliki sumber daya manusia yang cerdas dan didukung oleh kebijakan dan infrastruktur dari mobility, governance, economy dan environment yang juga cerdas sehingga menghasilkan kualitas hidup yang cerdas seperti yang diinginkan. Pemerintah Kota Semarang, telah menerapkan konsep smart city sejak tahun 2013. Perjalanan program ini sangat dinamis di lapangan. Untuk itu diperlukan penilaian terhadap tingkat efektifitas penerapan konsep smart city oleh Pemerintah Kota Semarang terhadap masyarakat. Pendekatan yang dilakukan adalah dengan menghitung Indeks Pembangunan Manusia (IPM) atau dapat juga disebut Human Development Indeks (HDI). Melalui pendekatan ini, dihasilkan informasi tentang efektivitas penerapan konsep Smart City khususnya ditinjau dari aspek pembangunan manusia. (“a process of enlarging people’s choices”). Adapun variabel yang diukur meliputi Umur panjang dan hidup sehat, tingkat pengetahuan dan standar hidup layak masyarakat. Temuan ini sekaligus berfungsi sebagai feedback bagi pelaksanaan kebijakan Smart City bagi penyempurnaan kebijakan di masa yang akan datang.Kata kunci : Indeks Pembangunan Manusia, smartcity, efektifitas

The aim of this paper is to highlight the issues of smart cities in the context of a dynamic increase in the number of the elderly. From the point of view of urban development, the discussion about shaping cities in a way that would guarantee a high standard of living of their inhabitants becomes particularly topical. The process of urban planning should take into account the expectations of both citizens and investors. Developing a coherent strategy, based on cooperation between various groups of interest, will allow to create a city tailored to the needs of its “users” as well as to involve citizens in city management. From this perspective, it seems that the primary task of a smart city is to emphasize the significance of building social capital. The study focuses on a detailed analysis of the problems faced by the elderly in urban areas, including the issue of transportation.

This paper presents the evaluation of usersХ experiences in three intelligent lighting pilots in Finland. Two of the case studies are related to the use of intelligent lighting in different kinds of traffic areas, having emphasis on aspects of visibility, traffic and movement safety, and sense of security. The last case study presents a more complex view to the experience of intelligent lighting in smart city contexts. The evaluation methods, tailored to each pilot context, include questionnaires, an urban dashboard, in-situ interviews and observations, evaluation probes, and system data analyses. The applicability of the selected and tested methods is discussed reflecting the process and achieved results.

Young people are important to cities, bringing skills and energy and contributing to economic activity. New technologies have led to the idea of a smart city as a framework for city management. Smart cities are developed from the top-down through government programmes, but also from the bottom-up by residents as technologies facilitate participation in developing new forms of city services. Young people are uniquely positioned to contribute to bottom-up smart city projects. Few diagnostic tools exist to guide city authorities on how to prioritise city service provision. A starting point is to understand how the youth value city services. This study surveys young people in Braamfontein, Johannesburg, and conducts an importance-performance analysis to identify which city services are well regarded and where the city should focus efforts and resources. The results show that Smart city initiatives that would most increase the satisfaction of youths in Braamfontein  include wireless connectivity, tools to track public transport  and  information  on city events. These  results  identify  city services that are valued by young people, highlighting services that young people could participate in providing. The importance-performance analysis can assist the city to direct effort and scarce resources effectively.

In the twenty-first century different countries and cities are increasingly seeking to introduce quality improvements in their livelihoods, generate for its residents an environment that is called “smart city” on the basis of high technologies. The article shows that the emergence of a “smart” city is an objective necessity due to the rapid growth of cities in the present and in the future. “Smart” city is designed to solve life problems in cities and create conditions for the socio-economic development of cities and countries, and for a favorable stay of residents on its territory. There are a number of strategies to implement the concept of “smart”, but it is important for each urban settlement to develop its own approaches and projects.
