Cities are urged to find new solutions for managing their
assets in order to prosper, otherwise face decline. This
state of facts and necessities require new technologies,
new legislation, new managerial approaches and a good
understanding of mass psychology. Simultaneously, in the
actual era of globalization and scarce resources
management, cities must collaborate through efficient
information and communication platforms in order to
specialize themselves, on the basis of a common strategy.
All these challenges have to be studied and addressed for
each city, separately and contextually, in order to create
the smart cities of 21st century. The aim of the article is to
make an overview of the smart city concept development
and to underline important aspects, statistics and points
