AI-Driven Smart Cities
Blekinge Institute of Technology, Faculty of Computing, Department of Computer Science.

Abstract [en]

Smart City (SC) is an urban area that uses a framework of information and communication technologies to create an interconnected sustainable environment designed to address urban needs of different categories and to improve the citizens quality of life. This includes, among others, different categories of technologies used to provide better civic services for, e.g., healthcare, ageing population, traffic management, public safety, water supply, policing and others.  

Traditional networks and services are made more efficient in SC with the use of digital solutions for the benefit of its inhabitants and business. A particular characteristic is that SC provides services of different categories and, for doing this, it uses Internet of Things (IoT) frameworks and recently the Artificial Intelligence (AI) as well.  

Several categories of definitions for smart cities are used today, i.e., academic, industrial and institutional. These definitions are different in nature, and they can be categorized based on sustainability as well as they consider one or a combination of environmental, economic and social dimensions. Furthermore, there are three categories of definitions for the sustainability oriented and non-sustainability oriented definitions. These categories are academic, industrial and institutional definitions.  

The definitions, also combined with the particular implementations, depend upon, among others, the given geographical region as well as the political situation in the particular place. United Nations Environment Programme investigations done in 2018 indicate that 66% of the global population will be residing in cities by 2050. The consequence of this is in form of significant expansion of urban environments also combined with needs to create new ones. This means there is strong need that cities manage challenges in form of growth and residents livelihood. This further means there is strong need for the development of SC services.  

Towards this goal, the European Innovation Partnership on Smart Cities and Communities (EIPSCC) have published a document to suggest adequate steps needed to develop and to  implement smart cities. Several European departments have been involved in writing the document, with expertise in different domains, e.g., research institutes, businesses, nongovernmental organizations. Seven steps are suggested for implementation, which are envision, decide and commit, plan, do, check, act, replicate and scale up.
