“…Lastly, it is essential for the framework to create a well-built connection with its respective institutions throughout its sectors and those of the government for the purposes of sharing research, intelligence, information, and capacity development. As these technologies are developing and scaling up, it is essential to involve human resources, training, and education [ 74 , 75 , 76 ] as the cornerstones of industrial progress, because upon the successful adoption of these technologies, there will be demand for new skills and expertise.…”

Cities have grown in development and sophistication throughout human history. Smart cities are the current incarnation of this process, with increased complexity and social importance. This complexity has come to involve significant digital components and has thus come to raise the associated cybersecurity concerns. Major security relevant events can cascade into the connected systems making up a smart city, causing significant disruption of function and economic damage. The present paper aims to survey the landscape of scientific publication related to cybersecurity-related issues in relation to smart cities. Relevant papers were selected based on the number of citations and the quality of the publishing journal as a proxy indicator for scientific relevance. Cybersecurity will be shown to be reflected in the selected literature as an extremely relevant concern in the operation of smart cities. Generally, cybersecurity is implemented in actual cities through the concerted application of both mature existing technologies and emerging new approaches.

In the 21st century, humans have advanced multi-folds in the era of science and technology. Human lives are most comfortable as ever in the history of mankind but all that might just disappear with long-term devastating effects from man-made and natural disasters. The question that lingers on for mankind is: "How to plan and prepare for disasters and emergencies over which we have no control?".The destruction from such disasters can either be averted or recovered with the help of the strides in technology we have made. The world of Internet-of-Things (IoT) is the new revolution in the modern technology realm after the intrusion of internet and mobile technologies. IoT technologies have matured for large-scale deployment in public and private Information and Communications Technology (ICT) domains. Along with IoT, the concept of Smart Cities is also maturing for the urban human landscape. Multiple civil and industry bodies are collaborating to frame the future of humanity when humans start living in the extremely demanding and crowded city perimeters. IoT assets along with the legacy ICT assets are getting deployed for Smart City implementations with increasing availability and reliability while becoming cheaper to procure and use.But with all the advancement of IoT and Smart City technologies, the question remains: "Are we ready to deal with disasters with our technological prowess?". The questions would attract a feigned silence from the audience since not all technologies are not designed to talk to each other. This thesis contributes by investigating the interoperability aspects amongst the various IoT technologies and Smart City concepts. The overall goal of the research is to create an architecture, propose component interactions for the architecture and show its validity using prototypical implementations for allowing the interoperable operation of ICT assets in a Smart City environment. The architecture would enable rapid deployment of Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Recovery (HADR) relevant technology assets on the ground allowing multiple HADR agencies to seamlessly communicate while having shared Situational Awareness (SA) and complementing each others capabilities.

“…Digital content and applications are expected to be covered almost completely by Internet delivery after 2020 [3,4]. Concepts and approaches to building smart cities have already been set up [5]. However, development of high-quality, fast, reliable, and inexpensive public services is important for the whole country as well.…”

Investments in broadband access are very useful for local community, especially for the underdeveloped and developing countries. The emphasis is on importance of broadband infrastructure and the use of Internet in the world, the EU and the Republic of Croatia as one of its member state. Implementation analysis of the "Slavonian Network" project in Slavonia, (Croatia region) for the period 2012 to 2017, points to a number of problems that were recorded in development of the broadband and to technical, economic, legal, and social issues as well. The density of broadband connections and users in Croatia is significantly lower than the average of the EU, and in five counties in the Slavonia region, this average is in turn lower than in Croatia. This state of affairs prevents social and economic development, effective functioning of the public administration, and inclusion of the region in modern communication within the country and within EU. The construction of broadband infrastructure is a significant economic and technical activity for all countries, especially for the countries lagging behind in economic and technological development. This paper points to the model of regional approach to building broadband infrastructure that can be a good model for all developing countries.
