Abstract
The primary objective:
provide readers with a vision of a smart city, and then help readers understand the way technology is transformed in the future city.
The second objective:
help readers build an exclusive blueprint for realizing their vision for the future. The Guidelines provide recommendations for the goals pursued by the reader, the features and functions readers shall explain in detail, and the best practice for obtaining the maximum benefits at minimum cost in the event of risk mitigation.
The Guidelines can be used by mayors, city managers, city planners and their employees. By providing objectives and neutral information of suppliers, it helps cities to make reliable and well-trained technical choices and those technologies can change a city.
Cities around the world are realizing economic, environmental, and social sustainability, and tremendous progress has been made with initiatives involving other countries and creation of job opportunities in the 21st century. All these are effective ways to improve the urban living standard and enhance the economy. The concept of a smart city is not in conflict with these achievements. On the contrary, smart city technologies can support and reinforce work that has been carried out.
