TI - “SMART CITY” is not just technology
AB - 
	We can currently observe a significant increase in the importance of technology in almost every aspect of life. This development is necessary and brings with it many beneficial changes, including those concerning the functioning of the modern city, which, according to contemporary trends, is to become a “SMART CITY”.

	The dictionary definition of the word “smart”1 points to its meaning as “intelligent, clever”, which means that a “smart city” is not only intelligent thanks to information technology-related solutions which support its day-to-day functioning, but also smart thanks to the wisdom of employing previous experiences and answering the non-technological needs of city residents.

	Treating contemporary technologies as a sort of “plug-in” for the existing or designed urban tissue, we must remember that newly designed areas should also be “smart” through their structure , as well as a programme that creates a high-quality foundation for the future city.
