Through the recent years of the economic crisis improvement of wellbeing was also connected to the reduction of costs, responsible use of energy sources and actions that produce general benefits to the society. Within this context, the term of the smart city resurfaced.

The purpose of this study is to discuss a brief history of the smart cities initiatives worldwide, while trying to sketch the most basic characteristics of a smart city. Also, some techniques are discussed in order to lead successfully to the preservation of the intelligent character of a city. However, someone always has to have in mind that the citizen is the most crucial part of the system that is called smart city and in order to be active participant of this evolution, s/he has to be also one of the recipients of the open data. |
