Smart Cities: Infrastructure, Innovation, Technology, Governance and Citizenship
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Today, we face the reality that cities are changing. As this change occurs, advances in research must provide solutions to the various problems that arise as consequences of this change. Administrations, universities, and companies must cooperate to lay the foundations of the smart city.
Examples of such solutions include the integration of renewable energy sources, energy efficiency (in construction and processes), sustainable mobility, the integration of the IoT and smart systems, and advanced and efficient infrastructures, as well as water and energy, food sustainability, climate change, and sustainable development goals, among others.
Thus, the main pillars of a city are as follows:
- Energy efficiency and sustainability;
- Infrastructure, energy, and the environment;
- Mobility and IoT;
- Governance and citizenship.
We invite submissions of both original research and review articles. Additionally, papers pertaining to the VI Ibero-American Congress of Smart Cities (ICSC-CITIES 2023) will be considered. We hope that this collection of papers will serve as an inspiration for all researchers interested in the prosperity of smart cities.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
i. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
ii. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
iii. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
iv. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
v. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
