"A smart sustainable city is an innovative city that uses information and communication technologies (ICTs) and other means to improve quality of life, efficiency of urban operation and services, and competitiveness, while ensuring that it meets the needs of present and future generations with respect to economic, social, environmental as well as cultural aspects."

FOR A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE AND BETTER PUBLIC SERVICE
The ultimate goal of a Smart City is to improve the quality of life of citizens and businesses in the City and to reduce the impact of the City on the environment, using smart and data-driven technologies. In addition, a Smart City makes every effort to ensure that the moments of interaction with its citizens are as smooth and personalised as possible. Moreover, it strives to deliver public services that are as responsive as possible to the needs and expectations of its citizens.
