Due to urban population growth and rapid urbanization all over the world, it is essentially important to build harmony among the spatial, social, economic and environmental aspects of a city and their citizens. This synergy can be established with development of smart cities with the following aims: making life easier for the citizens by developing smart environments (smart buildings, smart classrooms, smart offices, smart shopping malls, smart manufacture, etc.); making savings in energy consumption using smart grids; reducing environmental pollution (reduction in fuel consumption and emission of harmful gases, smart recycling of waste, reduction of noise pollution); providing more efficient transportation systems; increasing GDP and per capita income; optimizing investments in the smart infrastructure; providing real time services and quick access to government and its policies; enabling healthier, enabling citizen participation, improve democracy and access to culture, and better quality of life in general. Smartness of a smart city is usually based on its six components: smart environment, smart quality of life, smart economy, smart mobility, smart utility services and smart e-government. The main aim of this work session is development of innovative business models for each of these components of the smart city with focus on using:
