The diversity of papers about smart city

Abstract

It is my pleasure being the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Smart Cities (JSC) established in 2015. In the past three years, the founding editor prof. Andreas J. Kappos has made great effort to this journal to promote research for the improvement of all sub-systems of cities, including urban infrastructure, construction, mobility, energy saving and renewable energy, health and social care, safety in the public space, work and innovation, and make the city easily accessible, effective, efficient, and an attractive place to live. Now, smart city has already been developed into a new concept to support the urban development in the world. The application and innovation of smart cities can effectively improve the efficiency of urban management and the quality of life in cities. I would like to do my best to keep a good heart of JSC to bring an international readership from many disciplines of researchers, developers, users, and decision makers to share and advance knowledge on smart cities.
