Abstract

The concept of smart cities and smart societies should start from the base up, from the individuals and not the other way around. The 21st century should be about developing the new smart concepts about a smart transportation system combined with the smart energy one. In these concepts, smart technologies like phone apps that provide people with quick information about how to move, where to park, what areas to avoid due to congestions etc., should be affordable for everybody.

Apps that interconnect people and cities around states or the European Union with functions like booking a sharing bike or a sharing car should also be available for each individual. Smart transportation, from cars to trains, bikes or planes, all interconnected by a new technology should serve in the future the citizens around the globe.
