“…The massive setups will require a large workforce at all levels for the completion of smart city projects. Skilled, semi-skilled, and unskilled labor will be required, and thus a large job market will be created with the large-scale adoption of smart city projects [176,177] 4.1.3. Innovations With sustainability at the core of smart city initiatives, legacy approaches will be replaced by new and innovative approaches and mechanisms for performing tasks.…”

A large section of the population around the globe is migrating towards urban settlements. Nations are working toward smart city projects to provide a better wellbeing for the inhabitants. Cyber-physical systems are at the core of the smart city setups. They are used in almost every system component within a smart city ecosystem. This paper attempts to discuss the key components and issues involved in transforming conventional cities into smart cities with a special focus on cyber-physical systems in the Indian context. The paper primarily focuses on the infrastructural facilities and technical knowhow to smartly convert classical cities that were built haphazardly due to overpopulation and ill planning into smart cities. It further discusses cyber-physical systems as a core component of smart city setups, highlighting the related security issues. The opportunities for businesses, governments, inhabitants, and other stakeholders in a smart city ecosystem in the Indian context are also discussed. Finally, it highlights the issues and challenges concerning technical, financial, and other social and infrastructural bottlenecks in the way of realizing smart city concepts along with future research directions.

“…Cities have always kept their growth rate in line with the evolution of human civilization, playing a key role in commerce, security, and people's quality of life. Urban areas are often associated with environmental deterioration [1][2][3], elevating the quality of life [4] and acting as a catalyst for economic growth [5]. Currently, urban centers concentrate 55% of the world's population, which is expected to reach 70% by 2050 [6].…”

The fast growth of the urban population increases the demand for energy, water, and transportation, amongst other needs. This study explores the current state and future scenarios of Smart Cities and the environmental, economic, and social challenges that must be overcome. We used the Rapid Review method to understand the challenges of implementing Smart Cities in different urban contexts and the potential impact of research on Smart City planning in future Smart Cities. The study offers insights into the potential for Smart City growth while identifying obstacles that must be addressed to ensure sustainability. Results serve as a foundation for planning and decision-making, highlighting aspects such as the adoption of alternative energies, reduction in car use, preservation of ecosystems, waste reduction, citizen participation, infrastructure, and citizen data privacy, among others. These aspects are essential to overcome obstacles and promoting Smart Cities’ development.

“…Planning mobility systems means reusing what already exists in a different way in order to have more rational and effective networks with respect to the needs and emergencies of the territory, giving more useful and personalized services to citizens and businesses. Mobility conditions urban and territorial development in terms of production, resources efficiency, job opportunities, new investors, and tourism (Sharida, Hamdan, and Mukhtar 2020). However, if on one side contemporary urban lifestyles and business practices are increasingly dependent on mobility, on the other side, the negative impacts of mobility on natural and social environments are growing dramatically (Bertolini 2012).…”

This work aims to reorganize theoretical and empirical research on smart mobility through the systematic literature review approach. The research goal is to reach an extended and shared definition of smart mobility using the cluster analysis. The article provides a summary of the state of the art that can have broader impacts in determining new angles for approaching research. In particular, the results will be a reference for future quantitative developments for the authors who are working on the construction of a territorial measurement model of the smartness degree, helping them in identifying performance indicators consistent with the definition proposed.
