A Smart City, in its most basic sense, leverages technologies and innovations to enhance the living conditions of its residents. It encompasses optimizing the efficiency of city operations and services, and connecting citizens. Smart city technology enables city officials to interact directly with both communities and city infrastructure, and monitor what is happening in the city and how it is evolving.

Smart Mobility is one of the major requirements for the development of smart cities. It deals with providing intelligent and sustainable transportation solutions using innovative and integrated technologies. Smart Mobility promotes environmentally friendly transport modes such as bicycles, smart parking systems and digital way-finding. Other components are convenient and accessible multi-modal travel options, and efficient use of roads and resources.
