Cities<\/strong> have become home to local people <\/strong>who permanently reside there, but also to thousands of tourists<\/strong> who travel around the world. This generates the need to organize spaces<\/strong> so that the movement of people<\/strong> and the impact of their daily actions<\/strong> do not negatively affect them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A good organization and management of cities<\/strong> provides a better quality of life<\/strong> for those who are there and for those who are there temporarily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent years, enormous progress has been made in terms of sustainability and technology,<\/strong> which has resulted in the progress of cities<\/strong> positioning themselves before the rest as “smart cities”<\/strong> that see beyond, thinking firmly about the future and constantly acting in the present. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart Cities<\/strong> are considered those that have invested in development through the rational exploitation<\/strong> of their resources<\/strong>, the quality of life<\/strong> of their inhabitants, technological development<\/strong> and territorial organization based on sustainable concepts. These cities use technology as an engine for growth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
