Abstract

Smart city solutions are based on the concept of creating smart infrastructure and sustainable use of resources available in the immediate surroundings of a city as a potential that has not been sufficiently exploited so far. Thus, the most appropriate is the smart city concept, which implies anticipating development trends in all areas affecting urban life and developing innovative solutions that will adapt these trends and facilitate their use both to the population and to urban economics. The smart city concept should cover entire urban area, all domains of coexistence and all stakeholders of local development. This concept and its benefits should equally address all social groups. The paper explores the smart city concept and its components, along with the trends in its application in the area of Istria County. Research results show that the application of the smart city concept has been recognized and some cities have already been involved in the process of implementing certain smart city components.
