المدن الذكية كتوجه تنموي مستدام و تحديات النمو الحضري

Abstract AR

Urban areas “cities” has been a central issue to the environment.

Where the rapid urban growth challenges like traffic jams, random growth of some cities besides the loss of a lot of the natural and the environmental resources exist.

In spite of these challenges, cities are automatically growing in an unsustainable way so that it loses its functional efficiency.

In order to solve some of these challenges, it's suggested to apply smart cities indicators as one of the pioneering initiatives in the urban planning and growth field which combine between the information technology and its urban reflections and the sustainability goals.

As while the urban areas are rapidly growing and the individuals, corporations and governments tend to mainly depend on information technology, communication, internet of things and artificial intelligence, applying smart cities indicators became crucial.

Accordingly, the main purpose of the study is to illustrate the way to transform the existing cities into smart cities based on applying the main key performance indicators and considering achieving the functional requirements and urban sustainability.

To solve these issues and achieve these goals three topics that would be the subject of the study could be drafted as follows: The first Considers the observation of the smart cities definitions, the urban growth challenges and the main smart cities initiatives.

The second is discussing the key performance indicators of the smart cities.

While The third one covers the studying of the key performance indicators and the involved fields and dimensions reaching the main results that prove that the ence of the urban dimension in the smart cities studies and the lack of the calculation methods to determine the main key performance indicators is negatively affecting the transformation rate into the smart cities.

Besides the difficulty of applying the main key performance indicators to all the city sectors simultaneously.
