This problem has also affected administration, which is required to operate constinuously. Teleworking has become a solution to this problem. Therefore, this study attempts to demonstrate the role and importance of remote work in creating a smart city in the era of a pandemic. An attempt was made to indicate the benefits of this form of working. The experience of recent months has clearly shown that the use of smart technology can contribute to increasing security and shaping new social behaviors in the long run. Teleworking may not only facilitate the functioning of urban organisms in crisis situations, but also contribute to an increase in the quality of life in the city.
