Abstract
One of the biggest challenges for the European Union is to transform European cities into intelligent, sustainable places of living in the social, economic and environmental context, called “smart cities”. The smart city concept is a natural result of the evolution of cities – from knowledge-based cities, through digital cities (cyber-cities), intelligent cities, up to the most complex model – a city based on IC technologies used to increase the interactivity and efficiency of the urban infrastructure and its components. There are six modules creating the basics of functioning and ranking of smart cities concept, i.e.: smart economy, smart mobility, smart environment, smart people, smart living and smart governance. The implementation of the smart city concept in Poland is the subject matter of the paper. It also presents the citizens’ approach towards the most important modules of smart cities (with the stress put on smart mobility) and perspectives for its development in future.
