Despite the lack of one-size-fits-all definition, smart cities are often associated with technology and data. Since cities are not just made up of buildings and utilities, servers, and networks, it is necessary to include the most important component, the people who live there. Therefore, “Smart cities for whom?” becomes a relevant question.
“A Smart City integrates digital technologies into its networks, services and infrastructure, in other words, uses information and communication technology (ICT) to improve the quality of its stakeholder’s life while ensuring that it meets the needs of future generations.”
It is defined that within the direction to become a truly smart city or community, six key indicators should be taken into consideration as crucial fields while taking strategic actions. In other words, Smart city is composed of six main pillars indicated:
Smart Government
Smart Economy
Smart Environment
Smart Living
Smart Mobility
Smart People
