“…As a measure of smart city readiness, as many as 65 percent of journals/papers include smart governance and smart mobility. This shows that the government, especially in decision-making and local governance which is then supported by the local community, has a strong enough power in a smart city [20]. Smart governance is an important input that will generate performance in the form of proper transportation (smart mobility) and life viability.…”

Initially, A smart city was originally a solution used to deal with the environmental crisis that took place in the 20th century. Smart city concepts derive from the use of technology and knowledge to enhance society's efficiency and competitiveness. The indicators are needed that support the achievement of a smart city. We will analyze the indicators that can impact the smart city achievement in this article. The aim of this study is to identify the indicators that influence the process of developing a smart city in order to be able to help other cities to establish sustainable policies and work plans so that they can prepare themselves for a smart city consistently. From the results of content analysis and descriptions of literature reviews, it is concluded that the indicators most used in the assessment of smart cities are divided into eight groups of indicators, including governance, economy, living, mobility, environment, people, branding, and demography.

Population aging is a global problem affecting many modern economies. Thus, the article attempts to answer the following research questions: What demographic trends characterize cities considered smart, and is the health care offered by these cities adapted to the changes identified in this regard? In other words, can seniors feel safe now and in the near future? In search of an answer to such a question, data as well as demographic and health indicators were used from 16 Polish voivodeship cities mostly considered smart or aspiring to that title. The analysis covered the years 2010–2020. The results indicate a systematic aging of all surveyed urban communities. However, it is progressing at a rather different pace. Unfortunately, not all cities are adjusting the level of health care (medical and nursing staff and hospital infrastructure) to the needs of the growing number of seniors, which—in the future—may exacerbate regional and local medical and social problems. The analysis also shows that the best-performing cities in terms of health care development are Warsaw, Białystok, Kraków and Rzeszów—the units most often identified in international rankings as smart. Their “smartness” in this case lies in forward-looking management that takes into account the aging of the urban community in the process of developing medical care.

“…Similar to the previously described applications, the system can not only be used for real-time operation but can also be used to monitor traffic in car parks and facilitate decisions regarding the construction of new parking spaces. The next application is the system to support active ageing [13]. There are more and more ways to apply the Internet of Things to support older people in cities.…”

The concepts of Smart City and the Internet of Things have become a frequent topic of discussion in recent years. Due to the changes that take place in cities and the challenges cities face, modern solutions are sought to improve their functioning and enable their development. The aim of this paper was to demonstrate whether the Internet of Things is an essential element of a smart city. In the first part of the paper, the author focused on an introductory presentation of the basic problems of modern cities and defining the concept of Smart City. In the second part, the author focused on the Internet of Things and the description of selected technologies, with particular emphasis on their usefulness in the city. The last part of the paper showed how many elements of modern cities are closely related to the Internet of Things. The author presented real solutions implemented in smart cities, indicating that solutions based on the Internet of Things can be useful in every area of a smart city.
