Abstract

This article explores the evolution of urban settlements throughout history and highlights the crucial role they play as engines of economic, cultural and technological development. The positive link between urbanization and economic growth is outlined, but also the negative aspects related to urbanization that have a global impact. The focus is on the concept of "smart" cities that integrate digital technology into infrastructure and services, with the aim of improving the quality of life of citizens and contributing to a more sustainable future. The article focuses on the analysis of examples of smart cities in Europe and offers a series of suggestions for the implementation of this concept in Romania. In the end, I conclude that if Romania were to follow the example of "smart" cities in Europe and implement similar strategic plans, the country could reach a higher level of (socio-economic) development and modernization, becoming a prominent participant among "smart" cities in Europe.
