Analysis of the concept and solutions for transforming Timisoara into a smart city [articol]

Abstract

Of utmost importance for assuring humanity’s sustainability is the cities and smart regions development, a problem that involves a multitude of factors and is extremely complex. Even though this fact is known by the international communities, the local and public administrations of Romania use the concepts and intelligent solutions modestly. In the present work an analysis of some theoretical aspects is presented regarding the necessity of transforming cities into smart cities, like a study that illustrates the actual state of things at Timisoara’s City Hall in parallel with the transition towards the city’s transformation into a smart city. The successful testing and validation of a smart city’s strategy at Timisoara’s City Hall ensures that it is appropriate for its usage by the country’s other public administrations.
