Smart means Intelligent, but what does smart city mean? It means that now many of the things that happen in the city would be controlled from a computer platform open to all citizens.
A smart city is a city that uses the potential of technology and innovation, together with other resources, to promote sustainable development more efficiently and, ultimately, improve the quality of life of its citizens.
The idea is that smart cities are not merely a political tool, but tangible facts. It is in everyone’s hands to actively collaborate so that our cities are sustainable for new generations and, together, we can improve our quality of life.
But the key to the functioning of a smart city is citizen participation. If citizens do not actively contribute to the use and promotion of these alternatives, the objectives set for their implementation will not be achieved.
