Implementation of the smart city concept in the area of quality of life – comparative analysis of cities from Poland and the Netherlands

Summary/Abstract: Smart cities attract tourists, investors, and future residents. They have many advantages, but they also face many barriers to the implementation of innovative solutions, including low use of open data, lack of spatial planning, and insufficient involvement of citizens in city management. The evolution of cities towards a smart city is constantly progressing, which may be due to the fact that this concept addresses the major issues facing the modern world, such as population growth, climate change or an unstable economic system. The importance of these changes is the high quality of life of the inhabitants and the ability to meet their very diverse needs. The purpose of the article and the research problem is to present the concept of a smart city and to examine the degree of its implementation in the area of quality of life in selected cities in Poland and the Netherlands. A comparative method was used, which consisted in comparing the capitals of the countries, i.e. Warsaw and Amsterdam. The research was also based on a review of literature, documents, websites, and press articles. Qualitative content analysis was also applied.
