A smart city is centered around people and their well-being. Smart cities enhance traditional networks and services using digital solutions to benefit residents and businesses. The approach extends beyond digitalization and technology, encompassing transport and resource efficiency, reduced emissions and a focus on safety.
Sweden is known for its strategic focus on environmental protection, climate change and innovations. In a Swedish context, a smart city is a sustainable city; these two are not separated. Smart city solutions can be grouped into six areas: energy, climate and environment, mobility, digitalization, urban planning and social sustainability.
