Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
More than half of the world's population lives in urban areas today. Urbanisation leads to urban sprawl, slum formation, dispersed jobs, and ageing infrastructure, leading to high dependency on public infrastructure. These can lead to major inefficiencies in energy use, transportation, governance, waste management, and pollution. The public and private sectors are investing heavily in smart city technologies to address these social, economic, and environmental challenges. However, the risks of deploying smart technology in critical sectors must be addressed. Attackers target smart cities for a variety of reasons. Malicious individuals may view smart cities as playgrounds to test their hacking skills. You can play with available technology to your satisfaction. For cybercriminals, connecting devices and systems in smart cities can be a way to steal money and data from citizens and local businesses. State-sponsored actors can also exploit the spread of smart city technology to launch their own espionage and hacktivist campaigns. In extreme cases, intelligent implementations can even be used for terrorist acts. Therefore, researchers and engineers must provide practical solutions and methodologies to help municipalities and urban developers to design safer smart cities.
