The purpose of the paper is to determine the interrelationship between ur- ban planning and smart cities in the stages of construction and expansion and their applicability to Syrian cities after the war. According to a UN report, more than half of the worlds population live in urban areas. The report predicts that the world will see a surge in urbanization and that the citys population Will exceed six Billion by 2045. Cities based on integrated technological systems can respond to rapidly changing needs by providing pre-built facilities within the citys infrastructure environment in the areas of transportation, communications, information exchange, security, environmental quality and other vital needs, as well as a flexible planning structure. Smart cities are not limited to those that are established from the beginning by new technology, but also existent cities could turn into smart cities by introducing modern technology to its infrastructure and modifying its plans to ensure the intelligent expansion of its urban architecture in the future. Cities that are emerging from war situations and significantly damaged in their structure are a great opportunity to dynamically work on from the bottom up in urban planning and implementing smart city strategies as in the Syrian cities. |
