Abstrakt: This study provides theoretical grounds for planning smart cities using multidisciplinary approaches, offering insightful suggestions to researchers and policy- and decision-makers. Its main purpose is to contribute to the debate on the new connotations of the smart city paradigm in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. It will emphasize how the Internet of Things and related technologies will collaborate to develop an antivirus-built environment against future pandemics. In this context, the study proposes a conceptual framework that provides a futuristic vision of prevention control, contingency planning, and measures against future risks. Although a smart city ecosystem improves citizens' lives, building it may involve design, implementation, and operational challenges that must be addressed.
