Abstract

Smart, sustainable, liveable, healthy, energy use-efficient and environmental-friendly cities shape the urban future. Cities are developing the potential of information and communication technology in order to ensure high quality of life, shaping smart and sustainable urban development, rediscovering a pathway for sustainable growth and smart energy city development. Smart and sustainable cities contribute to urban sustainability issues and future development, focusing on smart efficient energy management and solutions to reduce the negative aspects of urbanization. As healthy, liveable and safe communities, cities adopt a smart-driven and efficient energy use-led view to urban growth and sustainability.
