From the city in classical sence to the ˝smart city˝

Svijet danas je karakteriziran kontinuiranim visokim rastom populacije što dovodi do pomanjkanja prirodnih resursa i promjena u organizaciji ljudskog društva. Gradovi se nose sa masovnim problemima vezanima uz okoliš, ekonomski rast i društveni razvoj. Kao rješenje problema javlja se koncept ˝pametnih gradova˝ koji dominira primjenom ˝pametne tehnologije˝. Cilj ovog rada je raspraviti i problematizirati osnovne koncepte ˝pametnih gradova˝, njihovu strukturu i funkciju te njihova ograničenja u upotrebi tehnologije i osiguravanju sigurnosti podataka. Također, cilj je istražiti kako ˝pametni gradovi˝ utječu na život u visokotehnološkim, urbanim zajednicama, na društvene odnose svojih stanovnika te na koji način prilagođavaju svoju funkciju relevantnim društvenim problemima.The world today is characterized by continuous high population growth, which results in a lack of natural resources and changes in the organization of society. Cities are dealing with massive environmental, economic and social development issues. As a solution to the problems concept od ˝smart cities˝ emerged and dominated by the application of ˝smart technology˝. The aim of this diploma work is to discuss and problematize the basic concepts of ˝smart cities˝, their structure and function and their limitations in using technology and ensuring data security. It also aims to explore how ˝smart cities˝ affect life in high-tech, urban communities, the social relations of their citizens and how they adapt their function to relevant social problems
