Smart city implementation and its policy in local sectors

The development of adequate urban mobility is one of the priorities that many cities have pushed to improve: mobility, in fact, is the basis of human beings, communities, and countries; human beings feel the need to move, to travel, whether for exploring or for work purposes. It is therefore natural to think that high quality transportation (of both goods and people) is necessary for the success of other sectors and as an attractive factor for the citizens. Smart city is the result of harmonizing urban environments with the transformative power of digital technologies, driven by the needs and opportunities presented by the Internet. In a smart city implementation, the infrastructure is the most sector affected by its policy and it is classified into two groups, namely soft (social) and hard (technical). Soft (social), is in the form of social, cultural, and other facilities, while hard (technical) infrastructure, is presented as transportation, telecommunications, water, and energy networks. Technologically, its policy aims to build integrated city information and management combining perception, network, and applications in achieving a measurable and connected future city according to the needs of the community. The policy of a smart city highlights that it is not merely using modern technology, but also a complex ecosystem made up of many stakeholders, including residents, municipal authorities, local and industrial businesses, community, and organizations. The study therefore aims to analyze the implementation of a smart city and what are the sectors affected by its policy.

Abstract

The development of adequate urban mobility is one of the priorities that many cities have pushed to improve: mobility, in fact, is the basis of human beings, communities, and countries; human beings feel the need to move, to travel, whether for exploring or for work purposes. It is therefore natural to think that high quality transportation (of both goods and people) is necessary for the success of other sectors and as an attractive factor for the citizens. Smart city is the result of harmonizing urban environments with the transformative power of digital technologies, driven by the needs and opportunities presented by the Internet. In a smart city implementation, the infrastructure is the most sector affected by its policy and it is classified into two groups, namely soft (social) and hard (technical). Soft (social), is in the form of social, cultural, and other facilities, while hard (technical) infrastructure, is presented as transportation, telecommunications, water, and energy networks. Technologically, its policy aims to build integrated city information and management combining perception, network, and applications in achieving a measurable and connected future city according to the needs of the community. The policy of a smart city highlights that it is not merely using modern technology, but also a complex ecosystem made up of many stakeholders, including residents, municipal authorities, local and industrial businesses, community, and organizations. The study therefore aims to analyze the implementation of a smart city and what are the sectors affected by its policy.
