Various sensors and other devices are responsible for collecting data and information, which is then communicated across wired or wireless networks and later processed for both present and future applications. To ensure the well-being of their residents in every aspect, these urban centres are meticulously designed to be environmentally friendly (Sabory et al., 2021). ...
... The idea of a "smart city" (Sabory et al., 2021) developed in the late 1980s after the smart growth movement. Although there isn't a universally agreed-upon definition of "smart city" just yet, it's evident that these cities use ICTs to boost service quality, citizen happiness, sustainability, and economic growth (Patrão et al., 2020). ...
... Reconciling technical advancements with the economic, social, and environmental concerns of future cities is the fundamental goal of smart cities. Improving people's standard of living without impacting negatively the environment is the goal (Campisi et al., 2021). Thus, according to Sabory et al. (2021), the smart city is a concept of how cities will evolve. ...
The human population living in cities in the world is constantly increasing. As a result of the increasing population, the use of digital technologies has become widespread to facilitate city life. The importance of a smart city has increased mainly due to the integration of artificial intelligence and Internet of Things technologies into cities. Therefore, this study aims to examine the effect of smart city applications on life intention and how technology anxiety moderates this effect. For this purpose, data were collected from 386 people using a questionnaire. The data were analysed with a structural equation model. As a result of the analyses, it was determined that smart public service, smart transportation and smart environmentalism practices significantly positively affect the intention to live in smart cities. As a result of the moderator analysis, it was found that technology anxiety has a moderating role in the effect of smart city applications on the intention to live in smart cities. Suggestions were made according to the research findings.
...

... Logistical [21][22][23][24] and infrastructural [25][26][27][28] issues also receive considerable attention. There is a growing number of publications addressing the environmental aspects of smart city life, due to growing number of climate issues [29,30]. However, social aspects still receive less attention [31]. ...
... In this context, it is worth once again clearly emphasizing the necessity of balancing the smart cities concept, not only in the widely described environmental [29,30,[67][68][69][70] or participatory [32][33][34][63][64][65][66] aspects, but-above all-in the aspect of a balanced urban community structure, in which each resident has equal access to opportunities to improve their quality of life. ...
Population aging is a global problem affecting many modern economies. Thus, the article attempts to answer the following research questions: What demographic trends characterize cities considered smart, and is the health care offered by these cities adapted to the changes identified in this regard? In other words, can seniors feel safe now and in the near future? In search of an answer to such a question, data as well as demographic and health indicators were used from 16 Polish voivodeship cities mostly considered smart or aspiring to that title. The analysis covered the years 2010–2020. The results indicate a systematic aging of all surveyed urban communities. However, it is progressing at a rather different pace. Unfortunately, not all cities are adjusting the level of health care (medical and nursing staff and hospital infrastructure) to the needs of the growing number of seniors, which—in the future—may exacerbate regional and local medical and social problems. The analysis also shows that the best-performing cities in terms of health care development are Warsaw, Białystok, Kraków and Rzeszów—the units most often identified in international rankings as smart. Their “smartness” in this case lies in forward-looking management that takes into account the aging of the urban community in the process of developing medical care.

This chapter presents re-engineering environmental sustainability opportunities within constrained pandemic situations that suggest solutions. Climate change disaster and COVID-19 socio-economic impacts are leading nations to dramatic tragedy. Simultaneously, increasing demand for energy are due to population, political competition, and industrial growth globally. At present, the pandemic attracts more attention due to its immediate effect. Ignoring climate change can have a worse consequence not only on the present but for the future generation in the long run. Therefore, re-engineering the current pandemic situation with a futurism outlook for saving the world will enable nations to transform and rethink strategies, policies, procedures, processes, and any actions that can cope with present and possible future pandemics and climate change tragedies.

... The unpredictability of a city's environment and continuous changes in city policies, standards, and residents' needs are the most significant concerns of today's municipal authorities and public sector managers [1]. Fifty-five percent of the global population live in cities, and it is expected that this percentage will increase to 70% by 2050 [2]. It will cause further urbanisation issues if city operations remain unchanged [3]. ...
... As a result, a city can be regarded as a 'complex system of systems' [5][6][7]. This implies that city systems including energy, education, healthcare, transport, etc., should be considered as a whole to provide integrated, user-centric, efficient, cost-effective, and so-called 'smart' services for the citizens in real time to offer a liveable and sustainable environment for the citizens and enhance their wellbeing [2,7,8]. According to the systems thinking approach, when the system is considered a whole, any change in any component will affect the other elements, because they are interrelated and interconnected in order to deliver the specific goal of the system [9]. ...
Cross-sectoral city systems integration is a necessity for Smart City Development (SCD) to provide real-time services to citizens. However, there is scant knowledge about integrating city systems, while the existing literature is replete with learnings on systems integration from private enterprises. Hence, the wisdom of Enterprise Systems Integration (ESI) can be utilised to integrate systems for SCD. Yet, there is limited knowledge on the association between these two contexts. This research aims to develop an innovative model, referred to as ‘AdaptModel’, that enables the adaption of the ESI learnings for SCD based on the differences and similarities between city and enterprise through qualitative research utilising literature analysis, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. The findings show that the difference between cities and private enterprises from a systems integration viewpoint is in degree rather than in kind. Hence, using ESI learnings for the SCD context is valuable and informative, but it would be more complex, bureaucratic, time-consuming, and expensive. The research offers guidance in addressing the systems integration challenges associated with SCD based on interrelations between SCD and ESI; this is carried out by applying a novel approach of contextualising and modifying the ESI learnings to support cross-sectoral city systems integration.
... For example, a "smart city" could represent the total amount of energy needed to meet the needs of the country's inland consumption by integrating renewable sources into the energy system toward clean and sustainable processes (Hoang & Nguyen, 2021), which can be achieved through optimised multi-energy systems in mixed-use districts (Klemm & Vennemann, 2021). Energy efficiency and renewable energy integration in a smart city can be achieved (Sabory et al., 2021). Alagar, & Thirumal (2021) provides a list of smart city solutions that can ensure a "PV-Wind-DG-Battery" for the Hybridization of energy systems with zero energy buildings. ...
As a futuristic emblem, smart cities represent a goal to provide all of the services required for a high-quality existence while conserving natural resources to the maximum extent possible. It turns out that the "Line City in Saudi Arabia" is the most famous and modern of these smart cities in terms of preserving 100 percent natural life, owing to the fact that they rely totally on natural energy and do not use any automobiles. The issues and challenges that have been highlighted will assist in the improvement of municipal management. One of the most generally implemented projects in the field of smart cities is the technological and integrative developments of the use of sensors and data collecting in conjunction with rising difficulties aimed at enhancing human well-being and improving human livelihood. This is especially true in Saudi Arabia, where visitors can arrive quickly by just walking through the checkpoints, resulting in a journey of little more than a few minutes to reach any regular destination. It also splits the city into many different levels of the ground, enabling for the conservation of natural excess energy.
In the context of smart cities, sustainability is an essential dimension. One of the ways to achieve sustainability and reduce the emission of greenhouse gases in smart cities is through the promotion of sustainable energy. The demand for affordable and reliable electrical energy requires different energy sources, where the cost of production often outweighs the environmental factor. This paper aims to investigate the ways smart cities promote sustainability in the electricity sector. For this, a systematic literature review using the PRISMA protocol was employed as the methodological approach. In this review, 154 journal articles were thoroughly analyzed. The results were grouped according to the themes and categorized into energy efficiency, renewable energies, and energy and urban planning. The study findings revealed the following: (a) global academic publication landscape for smart city and energy sustainability research; (b) unbalanced publications when critically evaluating geographical continents' energy use intensity vs. smart cities' energy sustainability research outcomes; (c) there is a heavy concentration on the technology dimension of energy sustainability and efficiency, and renewables topics in the literature, but much less attention is paid to the energy and urban planning issues. The insights generated inform urban and energy authorities and provide scholars with directions for prospective research.
