This plenary will provide a platform for presenting innovations in smart governance systems for urban and metropolitan transitions. It aims to coordinate the different smart systems of a smart city with a focus on the collection and efficient use of data. In addition, ti proposes to explore public and private models and initiatives focused on smart social and community systems, aimed at improving quality of life and strengthening communities. Participants will learn about successful smart community projects and gain the knowledge to implement similar initiatives.

The effective roll-out and operation of smart cities relies on a foundation of effective governance systems that are inherently smart. This will enable intelligent coordination between the different smart systems of the city. The objective of this session is to allow teams to present their innovations in smart governance systems adapted to urban and metropolitan transitions.

Smart social and community systems aim to improve the quality of life for citizens and promote innovation in community development. This showcase will explore public and private models and initiatives that harness technology to improve economies, sustainability and quality of life. The showcase will highlight the importance of smart communities to build a stronger community spirit and will feature interactive activities and case studies. Attendees will gain insight into successful smart community projects as well as the tools and knowledge to implement similar projects in their own communities.

The transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) in urban metropolis services is emerging in cities around the world in recent years. AI optimises transport, energy distribution and urban planning, while VR/AR improves citizen engagement and decision making. Through this circle, we aim to present the latest advances, best practices and emerging trends in the application of these technologies to create smart and sustainable metropolises that prioritise the well-being of residents.

Smart infrastructure is a key element of smart cities, aiming to improve quality of life and environmental sustainability through advanced technologies. This plenary will highlight the importance of smart infrastructure in smart cities. These infrastructures, equipped with advanced technologies, improve the quality of life and environmental sustainability. The smart transition of transport means plays a key role in urban mobility. Green measures are also being put in place to reduce environmental impact. This plenary will explore technological advances, transport innovations and green initiatives, helping to create smarter and more sustainable cities.

Smart infrastructure is a key component of a smart city. These infrastructures are designed to improve the quality of life of residents and the environmental sustainability of the city. They are typically powered by advanced technologies, such as sensors, monitoring systems, high-speed communication networks, data analysis software and automation devices. In addition to these technical systems, a large part of this urban infrastructure consists of the smart transition of modes of transport.

Smart services explore information and communication technologies to provide citizens with innovative solutions. Smart city services include mobile applications that allow citizens to report problems, smart kiosks to provide real-time information about city events, public transportation, local points of interest, etc. These smart services aim to improve the experience of residents and optimize the performance of the city.

Consideration for the environment, ecology and sustainability is a key component of a smart city. Smart cities seek to reduce their environmental impact by using renewable energy sources, improving waste management, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and preserving green spaces and natural habitats. Advanced technologies are used to monitor and optimize energy and water consumption, and reduce waste management. By promoting environmental sustainability, smart cities aim to create a more sustainable future for their citizens. This session provides a platform to present the ecological and environmental sustainability dimension of the smart city.
