Abstract

«SMART Cities» and its applications represent a high level of complexity, including the skills required for urban solutions based on new models of education, research and policy framework design. This paper elaborates a specific model named UBT “SMART City” (Small Scale Smart Sustain System) which represents an Entrepreneurial Innovation Ecosystem, which could also be used as a Test-Bed for Future and Innovative Urban Planning with a particular focus in education, future-planning concepts and emerging technologies. Located in an Area of 30.000 m2, the model is the state-of-art Development Program, designed and developed by at University for Business and Technology (UBT), with the aim to modernize and integrate the sustainable and SMART planning, community living standards, advanced technologies, education, innovation and economic and social impact.
