he concept of Smart Cities was first thought of by IBM in 2008 when world was facing its worst economic crisis. Then it was taken up by various countries around the world. The main objective here is to build and promote the cities which will provide the core infrastructure and provide the decent quality of life along with a clean and long-lasting environment which will be supported by smart technologies & solutions. Though smart city concepts are very new to India, where technology is mostly used in urban cities. So, in such a scenario one may ask a very basic question that “How a city can be made Smart?”. So, if we look around and see what are the things that some smart cities around the world are doing differently, then we may notice that they have addressed basic issues faced by any metropolitan city in a smarter way possible. For instance, we can see that the already developed smart city projects have addressed transportation, energy, crime, water management & other issues using current technologies & applications. If we leave aside the technology gap between rural & urban India, it is certain that Urban areas are already in need of Smart City Projects because of Population. But again, this needs a strong political will power to take quick decisions and aligned with technological advances such as E governance, online tendering of the government work which will be transparent and efficient. but often it is misunderstood that use of IT in administration and governance is the only meaning of Smart City Projects, but in fact if you are able to achieve all the issues such as administration, governance, transportation, water management, energy supplies, waste management, water treatments plants, meaningful use of public private partnerships in managing transportations and road constructions and evening installations of solar panels and LED bulbs across city. So basically, there are many factors contributing to create a smart city. The main factor which will drive this kind of ambitious projects are political will powers of government, without a political will power it is very difficult to complete the bigger projects. As there is lot on stake for such a large-scale project which will easily span over next decade.

The development of crowdsensing-based technologies has allowed for the use of smartphones in large-scale data collection for different scopes of applications, mostly in a transparent and ubiquitous way. When concerning urban areas and smart city initiatives, the collection and further analysis of information about the highest number of vehicles is of paramount importance, potentially supporting more efficient mobility planning and management actions in modern cities. In this context, this article proposes a public general-purpose platform for acquisition and visualization of vehicular speeds, which can then be exploited by any additional application. For that, a crowdsensing-based mobile software application was developed to collect instantaneous speeds provided by smartphone GPS, formatting and distributing this information to a database system. Such historical data can then be exported or visualized through a web-based comprehensive interface, which provides valuable data when planning traffic mobility in cities; for example, indicating areas with heavier traffic over a certain time period. Therefore, allowing the use of many different search filters and supporting data delivery in the JSON format, the CitySpeed platform can provide services not supported by popular applications, such as Waze and Google Maps, and potentially assist smart city initiatives in this area.

AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic before mass vaccination can be restrained only by the limitation of contacts between people, which makes the digital economy a key condition for survival. More than half of the world’s population lives in urban areas, and many cities have already transformed into “smart” digital/virtual hubs. Digital services ensure city life safe without an economy lockout and unemployment. Urban society strives to be safe, sustainable, well-being, and healthy. We set the task to construct a hybrid sociological and technological concept of a smart city with matched solutions, complementary to each other. Our modeling with the elaborated digital architectures and with the bionic solution for ensuring sufficient data governance showed that a smart city in comparison with the traditional city is tightly interconnected inside like a social “organism”. Society has entered a decisive decade during which the world will change by moving closer towards SDGs targets 2030 as well as by the transformation of cities and their digital infrastructures. It is important to recognize the large vector of sociological transformation as smart cities are just a transition phase to human-centered personal space or smart home. The “atomization” of the world urban population raises the gap problem in achieving SDGs because of different approaches to constructing digital architectures for smart cities or smart homes in countries. The strategy of creating smart cities should bring each citizen closer to SDGs at the individual level, laying in the personal space the principles of sustainable development and wellness of personality.

Research relevance. The article discusses the experience of South Korea in the sphere of smart city projects. The study's relevance is determined, on the one hand, by the role smart cities play in the creation of the new urban living space, in enhancement of urban economy and, on the other, by the need to analyze and systematize the best practices of smart city development. Research aim. The study describes the development of the 'smart city' concept in South Korea. Smart city is understood as a complex eco-system, which, on the one hand, comprises a range of technological and socio-economic processes and, on the other, involves such actors as government, corporations, research organizations and urban communities. Data and methodology. The study relies on methods of comparative and evolutionary analysis to analyze the concept of smart city and its structure by focusing on the case of South Korea, the world's renowned ICT leader. The study also provides cross-national comparisons of the experience of other developed Asian countries (Japan and China), which, like South Korea, are actively supporting building of smart cities on the state level. Results. The study describes the main stages in the development of the smart city concept in South Korea as well as the main types of smart city projects (pilot projects, research validation projects, and city restoration projects). The study identifies problems of planning, design and implementation of smart city projects and compares the relevant experience of South Korea, Japan and China. It is shown that although smart city projects in these countries were launched in approximately the same period, each of these countries has its own approach to smart cities and ways of their development. Conclusions. The key to Korea's success in smart city development lies in large-scale direct state support, public trust in the government and the application of an integrated approach to smart city development. At the current stage, smart city services not only provide enhanced comfort to city dwellers but also create more opportunities for their personal growth.

Nowadays, more than 55% of the world’s population lives in urban areas. In the time when humans are beings facing the pressure of population explosion and climate change, technology was a key to solve the problems of modern cities. Many models of cities have been chosen to develop cities in the world such as green cities, global cities, livable cities… Born from the 1990s and becoming more and more popular since 2010, smart cities have been the most chosen development model of cities in the world. And Barcelona, Seoul, Singapore were successful cases which transformed into smart cities. Similarly, as the largest economic hub of Viet Nam, Ho Chi Minh City encounters serious challenges of socio-economic transformations, climate change; thus, it needs a new growth model. In Nov. 2017, Ho Chi Minh City promulgated the plans for the transformation towards a smart city soon in the 2017-2020 period and with a vision to 2025. This paper aims to analyze issues about smart cities, lessons from prosperous cities in the process of building a smart city and of applying the lessons to the case of Ho Chi Minh City.

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.

Research on Smart Cities has come of age. Intense discussion on this topic has been ongoing for years, and the academic prominence of this concept has also engendered several policy initiatives inspired by this label at different administrative levels. However, to date, no large-scale evaluation of the relationship between urban smartness and smart urban policies has been attempted. This article aims at filling this gap. By building on a solid definition of Smart Cities, the article tests the empirical relationship between urban smartness and the intensity of Smart City policies. A novel data set on four different types of policies and smart urban characteristics is assembled for 314 European Union cities. Empirical results suggest that Smart City policies are more likely to be designed and implemented in cities that are already endowed with smart characteristics. Our findings also point to a higher probability that Smart City policies are implemented in denser and wealthier urban areas. These empirical results call for further research on the real effects of actual implemented Smart City policies, with the aim to verify the potential of this policy concept as an overall urban development model encompassing the main drivers of endogenous urban growth.

Ingenious Techniques for creation of Smart Cities by Big Data Technology & Urban modeling simulation by MATSimas the smart cities are on nascent stage in India. The extension of huge information and the advancement of Internet of Things (IoT) innovations have assumed a significant job in the practicality of keen city activities. Enormous information offer the potential for urban areas to get significant bits of knowledge from a lot of information gathered through different sources, and the IoT permits the joining of sensors, radiofrequency recognizable proof, and Bluetooth in reality condition utilizing exceedingly organized administrations. Thus the job of urban reenactment models and their perception are utilized to help territorial arranging offices assess elective transportation ventures, land use guidelines, and natural insurance arrangements. Typical urban simulations provide spatially distributed data about number of inhabitants, land prices, traffic, and other variables for ex- MATSim is an activity-based transport simulation framework designed to simulate large scale scenarios. Such technologies which have been developed in the past few years have proven to be very effective in smart cities of various countries. This project is an attempt to study the feasibility of such modified system, by understanding the implementation of such technologies to improve the existing smart cities and those which are about to become one. This is done by proposing an idea that is by implementing a big data server in the proposed smart city, the data will be collected through smart sensors which will then be sent to server and the mined data will be converted to simplified data for planners, engineers etc. in order to make a economic, self-sustainable & fully automated smart city
