(2024) INFM10 20241Department of Informatics
- Abstract
- This thesis investigates the implementation and challenges of Smart Cities, focusing on how different elements affect the decisions and strategies for integrating smart technologies. The study is based on qualitative interviews with professionals involved in Smart City projects. It highlights the diverse definitions and interpretations of the Smart City concept, emphasizing the importance of transparency and resource efficiency. Key findings reveal that successful implementation requires strong collaboration across various city departments, effective use of AI, and robust data security measures. The study aligns with existing theories on Smart Cities and sustainable development, underscoring the role of advanced technology in improving... (More)
- This thesis investigates the implementation and challenges of Smart Cities, focusing on how different elements affect the decisions and strategies for integrating smart technologies. The study is based on qualitative interviews with professionals involved in Smart City projects. It highlights the diverse definitions and interpretations of the Smart City concept, emphasizing the importance of transparency and resource efficiency. Key findings reveal that successful implementation requires strong collaboration across various city departments, effective use of AI, and robust data security measures. The study aligns with existing theories on Smart Cities and sustainable development, underscoring the role of advanced technology in improving urban life. However, it also identifies significant obstacles, such as inconsistent cooperation, ethical concerns regarding AI, and the need for better public communication.
Larger cities benefit from more resources and are better positioned to adopt Smart City technologies, while smaller cities may need to collaborate to overcome resource limitations.
Future research should focus on specific case studies and the development of detailed guidelines to ensure equitable and effective implementation of smart technologies in urban environments. The findings underscore the necessity of a holistic and integrated approach to realizing the full potential of Smart Cities and contributing to a sustainable future. (Less)
