The Overview-Analytical Document of the International Experience of Building Smart City

Abstract

The population of the planet is constantly growing, people are moving to the cities. Recently, more and more interest is being given to smart cities as a guarantee of at least comfortable living of citizens, as a maximum – an ultramodern autonomous city with artificial intellect, anticipating the needs of residents, capable of functioning autonomously for a long time. The purpose of the article is to analyze the experience of smart cities, highlight the distinctive and common features and outline the initial stages of the route map for the development of a specific city into a smart city. After the study, it became clear that the concept of “smart city” is very broad, scientists are investing a huge number of parameters that characterize a smart city, but it was possible to identify common characteristics. Also, the hypothesis was tested that the city’s urbanization should be oriented towards the inhabitants of this city, i.е. implemented not by a single algorithm, but by an algorithm that is adapted to the needs of a particular city. We proposed a methodology for the preparatory stage of the city’s self-mastering, which is based on expert assessments by a prior ranking, includes 2 stages and which was tested on the example of Odessa (Ukraine). At the first stage, the questionnaire contained questions about the six main characteristics of a smart city. At this stage three characteristics were singled out, which are of particular concern to Odessa citizens and the second survey contained 36 clarifying questions only for these three characteristics. The results allowed to distinguish 6 characteristics from which it is necessary to start Odessa’s growth as a smart city.

Foresight as a Tool for the Planning and Implementation of Visions for Smart City Development

“…After all, many of them fail to satisfy their initial objectives due to the fact that they are not adapted to the complexity, diversity and uncertainty characterising contemporary cities [17]. They are excessively focused on investing in advanced technologies, often without real recognition of the problems in cities and without the involvement of the local community in city co-management [18][19][20][21]. A smart city should ultimately aim to become a creative, sustainable area, providing a high standard of living, a friendly environment and broad economic development prospects [22].…”

Smart city concept in the light of the literature review

“…However, despite the numerous potential amenities of a "smart city" that cities could draw from, there are some barriers that make the implementation of this concept difficult (Dohler et al, 2011). Among the difficulties that arise when implementing the "smart city" concept, several stand out (Ravetz, 2017;Naphade et al, 2011;Krukowska, 2018;Proseedmag, 2017;What ..., 2018;Sikora-Fernandez, 2017;Bashynska & Dyskina, 2018):…”

Oportunidades y desafíos: una mirada holística a las iniciativas y proyectos en curso para ciudades inteligentes en Colombia y Medellín

“…Lo anterior permite entender e identificar cómo las ciudades inteligentes son un aporte en el mejoramiento de la calidad de los ciudadanos y la gestión de las ciudades; es así como en la actualidad se están realizando diversas soluciones para ciudades inteligentes que incluyen el desarrollo de servicios inteligentes y analítica de alto nivel para el análisis de volúmenes de datos de diversos sensores (Mohammadi, Member, Al-fuqaha, & Member, 2017), predicción de la calidad de aire en las ciudades (Kok & Ozdemir, 2017), Internet de las Personas para establecimiento de los ciudadanos como generadores de datos e información (Lemos & Veras de Araújo, 2018), creación de modelos de optimización de tráfico vehicular (Li, Shahidehpour, & Bahramirad, 2016), sistemas de parqueo inteligente (Peng, Baptista Nunes, & Zheng, 2017), sistemas de recomendación para comunidades conectadas (Sun, Song, Jara, & Bie, 2016), conciencia ecológica y disminución de emisiones de CO2 (Bashynska & Kaplun, 2018).…”
