Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cities are currently administrative, cultural, and social centres for their residents, as well as for the entire adjacent regions of the surrounding rural settlements. Due to the availability of all services at one place, they become very desirable in the eyes of the people living in them. This statement is confirmed by the fact that most people live in cities. As a result, there is a need to solve several issues within the areas for which cities are responsible. However, it is important to realize that the centre of attention is the residents themselves with all the services that need to be provided for them. This applies to areas of everyday life, such as communication with the public administration, education, healthcare, transport, environment, etc. Individual areas are intrinsically interconnected. Cities should look for a solution that brings overall technological progress.
Nowadays, it is not appropriate to perceive the term Smart City or Smart Sustainable City only technologically. It also needs to be perceived socially and environmentally, in connection with the energy and climate changes that humanity is facing. If the term is perceived correctly, it is possible to select effective management theories for its management. The current preferences for defining the term Smart City (or Smart Sustainable City) and its connection with sustainable development and the management of a city and the whole region are reflected in this Special Issue as well. The special issue focuses on this issue on a scientific and research level, but also on a practical level. It includes sociological and ecological aspects related to demographic development, and also the new IT culture of the next generation. The proposed procedures reflect the latest knowledge in the field of science and research, which were confronted with other opinions in an international forum dealing with sustainable development and the management of cities using modern IT tools.
