Summary/Abstract: From among the many concepts and visions of cities, the concept of a smart city is becoming more and more popular. Smart city is a city that uses information and communication technologies to increase the interactivity and efficiency of urban infrastructure, as well as to improve the quality of life of residents. Currently, the city can be treated as “smart” when it invests in human and social capital and communication infrastructure to actively promote sustainable economic development and high quality of life, including smart management of natural resources, through civic participation. A smart city is a coherent system, which operates based on ICT information and telecommunication technologies, collective communication control systems, monitoring, automation, autonomous devices and computer programs. The article presents and systematises technological solutions that are starting to appear in cities around the world, areas in which smart city technologies can be applied and a review of the market development and technology of smart cities and major producers of technological solutions for this type of cities will be made.
