The Future Smart Cities conference serves as a global platform for experts, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to explore and shape the future of smart cities. IEREK aims to foster collaborative discussions, exchange cutting-edge ideas, and showcase innovative solutions that will shape the cities of tomorrow.
As the world stands at the forefront of a rapidly evolving urban landscape, this conference embraces the multifaceted aspects of city formation, planning, contemporary design, and smart technologies, recognizing the significance of these interconnected elements in creating sustainable, livable, and technologically advanced urban environments.
Future Smart Cities conference encompasses a diverse array of disciplines and areas of interest in smart city development, where professionals gather from fields such as urban planning, architecture, design, engineering, information technology, social sciences, governance, and more. Through transcending traditional disciplinary boundaries, this conference aims to facilitate holistic and integrated approaches to city formation, planning, and design.
With the exploration of innovative strategies and approaches for city formation, including the planning and development of new cities. Future Smart Cities delves into the challenges and opportunities associated with shaping urban environments, considering factors such as sustainability, infrastructure development, land use, transportation systems, environmental considerations, and community engagement.
Contemporary design principles play a pivotal role in envisioning and creating the cities of the future, through the integration of architectural, urban, and landscape design principles that prioritize functionality, aesthetics, human-centricity, and cultural context. With interactive sessions and case studies, FSC aims to inspire and challenge participants to think creatively and critically about the design and creation of smart cities.
Moreover, Future Smart Cities focuses on the transformative potential of smart technologies in shaping smart cities. From the deployment of Internet of Things (IoT) devices to data analytics, artificial intelligence, and digital platforms, it explores how these technologies can enhance urban infrastructure, optimize resource allocation, improve public services, and foster citizen engagement. Discussions also encompass privacy, security, and ethical considerations associated with the use of these technologies in urban contexts.
Throughout the conference, Future Smart Cities program will integrate and feature, keynote speeches, panel discussions, technical sessions, workshops, and exhibitions. These activities provide a platform for experts, and participants to share their research findings, practical experiences, and visionary ideas. The conference serves as a catalyst for multidisciplinary dialogue, collaboration, and networking, fostering connections among academia, industry, and government sectors, in order to explore the limitless possibilities, confront the challenges, and shape the future of our cities towards sustainability, resilience, inclusivity, and human well-being.

About ASTI
Advances in Science, Technology & Innovation (ASTI) is a series of peer-reviewed books based on important emerging research that redefines the current disciplinary boundaries in science, technology and innovation (STI) in order to develop integrated concepts for sustainable development. It not only discusses the progress made towards securing more resources, allocating smarter solutions, and rebalancing the relationship between nature and people, but also provides in-depth insights from comprehensive research that addresses the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) as set out by the UN for 2030.
The series draws on the best research papers from various IEREK and other international conferences to promote the creation and development of viable solutions for a sustainable future and a positive societal transformation with the help of integrated and innovative science-based approaches. Including interdisciplinary contributions, it presents innovative approaches and highlights how they can best support both economic and sustainable development, through better use of data, more effective institutions, and global, local and individual action, for the welfare of all societies. The series particularly features conceptual and empirical contributions from various interrelated fields of science, technology and innovation, with an emphasis on digital transformation, that focus on providing practical solutions to ensure food, water and energy security to achieve the SDGs. It also presents new case studies offering concrete examples of how to resolve sustainable urbanization and environmental issues in different regions of the world. Read More.
The ASTI series is fully indexed in Scopus and any chapter/ paper published as part of this series will be seen on the Scopus database. Some titles have been successfully indexed or submitted for indexation in Web of Science (ISI).
About Built Heritage Journal
Built Heritage aims to enhance pluralism and criticism in debates on heritage conservation and revitalization with a globalized perspective.
