ICSC-CITIES 2022: V Ibero-American Congress of Smart Cities Cuenca, Ecuador, November 28-30, 2022

Smart cities are the result of the increasingly urgent need to orient our lives towards sustainability. Therefore, these cities use infrastructure, innovation, and technology to improve the quality of life of their citizens.

Being a strategic issue that brings new challenges, the organizing committee invites the academic community to participate in the V Ibero-American Congress of Smart Cities (ICSC-CITIES 2022). The congress will be a discussion forum to create synergies among different research groups to favor the development of Smart Cities.
