CITIES: Energetic Efficiency, Sustainability; Infrastructures, Energy and the Environment; Mobility and IoT; Governance and Citizenship

Dear Colleagues,

Cities are changing—this is a reality. As this change takes place, advances in research must propose solutions to the numerous problems that arise with it. Administration, universities, and companies must cooperate to establish the foundations of the Smart City.

In this sense, the main pillars of a city are:

• Energetic efficiency and sustainability;
• Infrastructures, energy and the environment;
• Mobility and IoT;
• Governance and citizenship.

Therefore, this SI will be focused on the previous topics.

Submissions are invited for both original research and review articles. Additionally, invited papers based on excellent contributions to the 2020 CIUDADES INTELIGENTES TOTALMENTE INTEGRALES, EFICIENTES Y SOSTENIBLES (CITIES) will be included. We hope that this collection of papers will serve as an inspiration for all those interested in the prosperity of smart cities.
