A disaster resilience approach applying in a smart city concept

The development of smart cities aims to modernize traditional cities, combining the expertise of all sectors initiatives under the supervision of public services, enriching them with the results of the scientific community. In this paper definitions and characteristics of smart cities are analyzed and formulated according to numerous formulated surveys. The paper refers then to the disasters that affect a city, and how the vulnerabilities of a city can be minimised in order to make it resilient and safe.

The authors attempt to delineate some of the key resilience strategies and actions that need to be implemented so that a city can adapt and evolve to smart. The smart cities 'verticals' are diverse, including water, waste, energy, transportation, finance, and payments, health, safety, and security, agriculture, and more. Finally, these critical factors must be in service regardless of the pressures and emergency situations that may arise.
