This book considers and examines the concept of a Smart City in the
context of improving the quality of life and sustainable
development in Central and Eastern European cities. The Smart City
concept has been gaining popularity in recent years, with
supporters considering it to be an effective tool to improve the
quality of life of the city’s residents. In turn, opponents argue
that it is a source of imbalance and claim that it escalates the
problems of social and economic exclusion. This book therefore
assesses the quality of life and its unsustainability in Central
and Eastern European cities within the context of the Smart City
concept and from the perspective of key areas of sustainable
development. Using case studies of selected cities in Central and
Eastern Europe and representative surveys of Polish cities, this
book illustrates the process of creating smart cities and their
impact on improving the quality of life of citizens. Specifically,
the book investigates the conditions that a Smart City has to meet
to become sustainable, how the Smart City concept can support the
improvement of the residents' quality of life, and how Central and
Eastern European countries create smart city solutions. Containing
both theoretical and practical content, this book will be of
relevance to researchers and students interested in smart cities
and urban planning, as well as city authorities and city
stakeholders who are planning to implement the Smart City concept.
