Bucharest, like so many other major European cities, faces the challenge of combining competitiveness and sustainable urban development simultaneously. But how all these challenges are going to impact the life quality in our city, in terms of housing, economy, culture, social and environmental conditions?Sibiu and Cluj are two other important cities in Romania that fight to become the smartest cities in our country so it’s time to see what are the first smart steps and what more can we do reflecting on the performances of other European cities, but also of a very new emerging developed region, such as United Arab Emirates especially Dubai City.
Even if the European trend of transforming our cities into some that are smarter has generated a competition in this regards, with plenty on discussions and international conferences debating this subject, we still can’t understand what is possible in developed countries and what is possible in the emerging countries. It’s time to find out.
