Smart City


Background

In the last two decades, the concept of “smart city” has become more and more popular in scientific literature and international policies. To understand this concept it is important to recognize why cities are considered key elements for the future. Cities play a prime role in social and economic aspects worldwide, and have a huge impact on the environment. According to the United Nations Population Fund, 2008 marked the year when more than 50 percent of all people, 3.3 billion, lived in urban areas, a figure expected to rise to 70 percent by 2050 (Fig 2). In Europe, 75 percent of the population already lives in urban areas and the number is expected to reach 80 percent by 2020. The importance of urban areas as a global phenomenon is confirmed by the diffusion of megacities of more than 20 million people in Asia, Latin America, and Africa.
