Abstract

According to the research conducted by the United Nation, approximately half of the world population live in cities, and it is predicted that this ration will be 70% by the year 2050. Just in 15 years, it is foreseen that urban regions will be doubled and number of vehicles will be 1.2 billion. Integration of the Internet to things and placing the sensor in different ways in the cities depending on developments in information and communication technologies enabled to emerge a new city concept. This new concept called as Smart City can be defined as “a city that is integrated with humane and numeric systems which aims to provide sustainable, high welfare and participative future to its citizens.” The technologies used in smart cities are city control centers, smart networks, autonomous vehicles, smart phone applications, online communities, and sensors. Smart applications become widespread in several cities in the world and the cities become smart. Top ten smart cities in the world announced by IESE Cities in Motion are New York, London, Paris, Tokyo, Reykjavik, Singapore, Seoul, Toronto, Hong Kong, and Amsterdam. Only four cities in the list are located in Asia. In this direction, the purpose of this chapter is to examine the capital cities in Asia in terms of smart city concept, determine their shortcomings compared to other smart cities in the world, and offer some suggestions. For this purpose, document analysis was preferred.
