Abstract: The concept of the Smart City is increasingly gaining popularity and defines an approach that uses Information and Communication Technology to support the different facets of sustainability processes, while taking into consideration the interests of different stakeholders. Security is one of many issues raised in Smart City initiatives; the security issue is often tackled by the adoption of systems that enhance security systems. Smart Cities raises noteworthy political, specialized, and socioeconomic challenges for creators, trustworthiness, and organizations included in administrating these modern substances. An expanding number of considers center on the security, privacy, and risks inside Smart Cities, highlighting the dangers relating to data security and challenges for Smart City framework within the management and handling of individual information. Smart City has circulated over the created world influencing urban improvement programs and government methodologies. Such future cities are proclaimed for their proficient networked technologies implanted inside the texture of urban situations that give unused implies of social control for the state. These cities are imagined as a technological settle for the numerous issues of advanced city life; Rising advances are not faultless and have vulnerabilities that can be controlled by criminal performing artists. Indeed so, there's a curiously hush around the issues of security among the advocates of Smart Cities. Sažetak: Koncept Pametnog grada sve više dobiva na popularnosti i podrazumijeva pristup koji koristi informacijsku i komunikacijsku tehnologiju za podršku različitim aspektima procesa održivosti, uzimajući u obzir interese različitih dionika. Sigurnost je jedno od mnogih pitanja pokrenutih u inicijativama Pametnog grada. Sigurnosno pitanje često se rješava uvođenjem sustava koji poboljšavaju sigurnost. Pametni gradovi predstavljaju značajne političke, specijalizirane i socioekonomske izazove donositeljima odluka kao i organizacijama uključenim u upravljanje tim modernim sustavima. Sve veći broj istrtaživanja usmjeren je na sigurnost, privatnost i rizike u Pametnim gradovima, ističući opasnosti povezane sa sigurnošću podataka i izazove za Pametni grad u kontekstu upravljanja i korištenja pojedinih informacija. Pametni grad je dio svjetskog konteksta koji utječe na programe urbanih poboljšanja i metode upravljanja. Takvi su gradovi budućnosti zamišljeni kao vješto umrežene tehnologije ugrađene u teksturu urbanih situacija koje otvaraju neiskorištene mogućnosti društvene kontrole države. Ti su gradovi zamišljeni kao tehnološko rješenje za brojna pitanja kvalitete gradskog života. Napredak nije besprijekoran i ranjiv je. Uistinu, među zagovornicima Pametnih gradova postoji neobična šutnja oko pitanja sigurnosti.

Underlying Processes

Cities are becoming digital and are aiming to be sustainable. How they are combining the two is not always apparent from the outside. What we need is a look from inside. In recent years, cities have increasingly called themselves Smart City. This can mean different things, but generally includes a look towards new digital technologies and claim that a Smart City has various advantages for its citizens, roughly in line with the demands of sustainable development. A city can be seen as smart in a narrow sense, technology wise, sustainable or smart and sustainable. Current city rankings, which often evaluate and classify cities in terms of the target dimensions “smart” and “sustainable”, certify that some cities are both. In its most established academic definitions, the Smart City also serves both to improve the quality of life of its citizens and to promote sustainable development. Some cities have obviously managed to combine the two. The question that arises is as follows: What are the underlying processes towards a sustainable Smart City and are cities really using smart tools to make themselves sustainable in the sense of the 2015 United Nations Sustainability Goal 11? This question is to be answered by a method that has not yet been applied in research on cities and smart cities: the innovation biography. Based on evolutionary economics, the innovation biography approaches the process towards a Smart City as an innovation process. It will highlight which actors are involved, how knowledge is shared among them, what form citizen participation processes take and whether the use of digital and smart services within a Smart City leads to a more sustainable city. Such a process-oriented method should show, among other things, to what extent and when sustainability-relevant motives play a role and which actors and citizens are involved in the process at all.

Quality Of Urban Life

Buildings shape cities as those cities grow from and nurture people living and working within the built environment. Thus, the conceptualization of smart building should be brought closer to the smart city initiatives that particularly target ensuring and enhancing the sustainability and quality of urban life. In this paper, we propose that a smart building should be interlinked with a smart city surrounding it; it should provide good experiences to its various occupants and it should be in an ongoing state of evolving as an ecosystem, wherein different stakeholders can join to co-produce, co-provide and co-consume services. Smart buildings require a versatile set of smart services based on digital solutions, solutions in the built environment and human activities. We conducted a multiphase collaborative study on new service opportunities guided by a Design Thinking approach. The approach brought people, technology, and business perspectives together and resulted in key service opportunities that have the potential to make the buildings smart and provide enjoyable experience to the occupants who support their living and working activities in smart cities. This paper provides the resulting practical implications as well as proposes future avenues for research.

The paper focuses on the importance of robotics and artificial intelligence inside of the new urban contexts in which it is possible to consider and enhance the different dimensions of quality of life such as safety and health, environmental quality, social connection and civic participation. Smart technologies help cities to meet the new challenges of society, thus making them more livable, attractive and responsive in order to plan and to improve the city of the future. In accordance with the Agenda 2030 Program for sustainable development that intends the inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable city, the direction of growth and prosperity of urban environments is pursued by optimizing the use of resources and respecting the environment. In the current society, robotic technology is proposed as a tool for innovation and evolution in urban as well as industrial and domestic contexts. On the one hand the users-citizens who participate dynamically in the activities and on the other the new technological systems integrated in the urban fabric. Existing urban systems that are “amplified” of artificial and digital intelligence and give life to smart cities, physical places that allow new forms of coexistence between humans and robots in order to implement the level of quality of life and define “human centered” innovative solutions and services thus responding to the particular needs of people in an effective and dynamic way. The current city goes beyond the definition of smart city. In fact, as said by Carlo Ratti, it becomes a "senseable city", a city capable of feeling but also sensitive and capable of responding to citizens who define the overall performance of the city. The multidisciplinary approach through the dialogue between designers, architects, engineers and urban planners will allow to face the new challenges through the dynamics of robot integration in the urban landscape. The cities of the future, in fact, will be pervaded by autonomous driving vehicles, robotized delivery systems and light transport solutions, in response to the new concept of smart mobility, on a human scale, shared and connected mobility in order to improve management and control of the digitized and smart city. Automation at constant rates as the keystone for urban futures and new models of innovative society. Through the identification of representative case studies in the field of innovative systems it will be possible to highlight the connections between design, smart city and "urban" robotics that will synergically highlight the main "desirable" qualities of life in the city as a place of experimentation and radical transformations. In particular, parallel to the new robotic solutions and human-robot interactions, the design discipline will be responsible for designing the total experience of the user who lives in synergy with the robots, thus changing the socio-economic dynamics of the city.

Dustbins (or Garbage Bins, Trash Cans, whatever you name them) are small containers of plastic or metal used on a temporary basis to store trash (or waste). They are also used for the collection of waste in houses, workplaces, highways, parks, etc. Littering is a major crime in some countries, and public waste bins are also the only way to dispose of small waste. Usually, using different bins for handling wet or dry, recyclable or non-recyclable waste is a common practice. From an ETS perspective, smart waste collection can help municipalities and private waste management companies avoid the need for collection sites, waste disposal facilities and waste treatment plants. As communities increasingly rely on smart city technology to improve, among other things, the quality of life of their residents and the environment, city leaders recognize that smart waste management can also help them achieve sustainability goals such as zero waste and improve services to residents, while improving service to residents. As an example, Development of Some solar-powered bins and recycling bins are already equipped with sensors that analyze data on what is disposed of or recycled and notify collectors when the bin is too full and needs to be picked up. These developed Smart waste management solutions use sensors placed in waste bins to measure levels, notify municipal waste collection services, when the bins are ready to be emptied, and also notify municipal waste collection with a ton has been emptied. Therefore, the solar-powered of sensors based smart waste monitoring system is more and more useful to the current smart cities policies under the smart city project works.
