Abstract The concept of smart city as a means to enhance the quality of life provided to citizens through the search and identification of intelligent solutions has been acquiring growing importance in the agenda of policy makers. Due to population growth and high urbanization rates, cities must enhance the quality and efficiency of services and resources provided, while at the same time supporting sustainable and long-term economic growth. However, few cities worldwide are actually becoming truly “smart,” most of them being in the early stages of implementation. This chapter aims to provide how artificial intelligence technologies such as machine learning natural language processing and robotics can serve to overcome the main smart cities challenges (budgetary constraints, one-size-fits-all approach, digital skills and curriculum reforms, security and privacy problems, pollution, traffic congestion, citizens' inclusion, governance, and regulatory framework represent important challenges facing smart cities development).

Abstract The concept of smart city as a means to enhance the quality of life provided to citizens through the search and identification of intelligent solutions has been acquiring growing importance in the agenda of policy makers. Due to population growth and high urbanization rates, cities must enhance the quality and efficiency of services and resources provided, while at the same time supporting sustainable and long-term economic growth. However, few cities worldwide are actually becoming truly “smart,” most of them being in the early stages of implementation. This chapter aims to provide how artificial intelligence technologies such as machine learning natural language processing and robotics can serve to overcome the main smart cities challenges (budgetary constraints, one-size-fits-all approach, digital skills and curriculum reforms, security and privacy problems, pollution, traffic congestion, citizens' inclusion, governance, and regulatory framework represent important challenges facing smart cities development).
