Questions
Question (1)
The European Commission defines a smart city as “a place where traditional networks and services are made more efficient with the use of digital solutions for the benefit of its inhabitants and business. A smart city goes beyond the use of digital technologies for better resource use and less emissions. It means smarter urban transport networks, upgraded water supply and waste disposal facilities and more efficient ways to light and heat buildings. It also means a more interactive and responsive city administration, safer public spaces and meeting the needs of an ageing population”
Do you agree with this definition? In your opinion, is it an all-encompassing definition of the smart city concept according to the literature? Which dimension of the smart city is not fully considered?
