IJITCA ISC2: Special Issue on: "The Frugal Social Smart City"

Guest Editors:
Prof. Abderrahim Maizate, Prof. Awatif Hayar, Prof. Larbi Hassouni and Prof. Houda Anoun, Hassan II University, Morocco

The "frugal social smart city" is a new concept, proposed for Casablanca, Morocco. It is based on a global bottom-up multidisciplinary approach that relies on the informational and functional cost-effective integration of various urban complex systems such as transport, health, energy, governance, etc. It puts citizens at the centre of the transformation process, paving the way towards future smart sustainable cities and communities, which turns societal and economic challenges into business opportunities, human development and social wellbeing.
