CALL FOR PAPERS FOR A SPECIAL ISSUE FOR INTERNATIONAL INTERDISCIPLINARY BUSINESS-ECONOMICS ADVANCEMENT JOURNAL
"SMART CITIES"
http://iibajournal.org/smart-cities/
More than half of the world's population lives in urban areas, a proportion that is expected to increase up to 66 percent by 2050 ("World's population increasingly" 2014). Cities consume around 70% of the world's resources. With this much growth in urban living, smart cities are now a necessary tool for the economic growth and helping to control climatic changes. In addition, the involvement of new technologies can produce a variety of effective ideas for improving quality of life. According to United Nations, projections show that urbanization combined with the overall growth of the world's population can add another 2.5 billion people to urban populations by 2050, with close to 90 percent of the increase concentrated in Asia and Africa.
Smart cities are defined as cities where innovation in technology, telecommunication, networking, computation, sustainability and ecological design come together and create a responsible, intuitive, social, high quality, clean and advanced experience for its citizens and visitors a wise management of natural resources (Abdoullaev, 2011; Colldahl, 2013; Couzineau-Zegwaard, Barabel, & Meier, 2013; Merli & Bonollo, 2014; Nijman, 2011; Vaquero & Saiz-Alvarez, 2016).
