Abstract

Smart City concept is getting an increasing interest for municipalities representing one of the solutions for solving various city problems starting from urbanization problems and ending with environmental challenges. In these conditions, approaches to urban development management are gradually revised and are increasingly relied on advanced technological solutions, digitalization and platformization. Today, the digital upgrade of cities is becoming a central political choice for many countries, because it achieves, on the one hand, savings and efficiency in the operation of its services and in the management of its problems and on the other hand, speed and transparency in decision making. This paper aims to analyse the role of smart technologies in promoting sustainability and smart city concepts, as well as to establish a relationship between these two concepts. For these there have been applied methods of scientific investigation like analysis and synthesis of specific literature in the domain of circular economy, smart city, smart technologies, induction and deduction, critical analysis of materials. Sustainable development is based on the interaction of three aspects that are interdependent and mutually reinforcing. These are the economic, social and environmental aspects of a development. Thus, the circular economy concept can provide new, more impactful solutions to the smart city systems through new mobility, improving energy efficiency, smart environmental solutions.
