In order to ensure the future coexistence of those living in such densely populated areas, there are numerous challenges that those who bear responsibility for modern cities need to address. With more and more people living in increasingly crowded spaces, how can we make sure that we have clean air and reduce waste? How can we facilitate mobility for millions of people? And how can we ensure that administrative structures are in place and there is universal healthcare?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">One solution is to apply modern technologies to achieve a comprehensive \u201crenewal\u201d of today\u2019s cities. It is the rare urban planner who does not dream of the advantages of smart cities. For experts, a smart city represents the integration of information technologies and data into both existing and new infrastructure systems with the goal of enabling those in urban areas to live together sustainably, efficiently, and in social harmony, despite growing population density. But what exactly will the city of the future look like? What technologies are already making urban life smarter?\u00a0 And how will people adapt to these technologically modified cities?\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">To answer these questions the project called \u201cHow to assure citizen participation in the implementation of the \u201csmart city\u201d and \u201csmart village\u201d projects and organizing awareness-raising activities\u201d has been implemented. It aimed to contribute to the return process to the liberated Shusha city (Azerbaijan) by investigating the best international expertise in building an inclusive, people-centered smart city and\/or village infrastructure.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">The project had four phases:<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">\u2013 researching the best practices,<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">\u2013 holding meetings with the relevant institutions, as well as conducting surveys among the citizens of Shusha,<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">\u2013 presenting the results of the research to the relevant institutions and citizens,<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">\u2013 organizing training and workshops among schoolchildren.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">The catalog called \u201cSmart city for all\u201d has been published as the result of the project. This catalog was prepared to study the best practices used in international practice regarding the methods and ways of ensuring public participation in the application of the \u201csmart city\u201d\/\u201dsmart village\u201d concept and to determine the necessary steps for its application in the liberated territories of Azerbaijan, especially in the city of Shusha. In addition to international best practices, the catalog includes the results of a survey conducted among the residents of Shusha, the cultural capital of Azerbaijan that has just been liberated from occupation, as well as the results of a workshop conducted among schoolchildren from Shusha.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">During the preparation of the catalog, meetings were held with both local and foreign state bodies, municipalities, and private companies responsible for the implementation of the relevant concept. The Hammarby Sj\u00f6stad district, which was rebuilt based on the most modern standards, the Brunnsh\u00f6g district \u2013 the new smart city which is under construction, and the cities of Stockholm, Malm\u00f6, Helsingborg, and Lund in Sweden, where the most modern solutions are applied, Lund university, \u201cEricsson\u201d company and UNEP Copenhagen Climate Center were visited and the best practices related with the topic were learned.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">It has been determined that only building a residential area that meets the most modern standards with the help of the latest technology and offering digital solutions is not enough for the implementation of the \u201cSmart City\u201d\/\u201dSmart Village\u201d model effectively. Increasing the digital knowledge and skills of city\/village residents, who will be users of modern technologies, and at the same time encouraging their active participation in city\/village construction are the most important factors for the successful implementation of the relevant concept.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><em><a style=\"color: #000080;\" href=\"https:\/\/misunion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Smart-city-for-all-original-size.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Download catalog \u2013 Smart_city_for_all (original size)<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/span><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/misunion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Smart-city-for-all_reduced_size.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><em>Download catalog \u2013 Smart_city_for_all (reduced size)<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is estimated that the world\u2019s population will reach 9.7 billion by the year 2050, with 68% living in urban regions.
