Purpose: This study aims to examine the relationships between the use of data-driven solutions in key areas of sustainable city management (urban planning, mobility and transportation management, and environment protection) and city’s position in the global smart cities ranking (the IESE Cities in Motion Index). Design/methodology/approach: A case study methodology is adopted to examine and compare the possibilities of implementing data-driven approaches in sustainable city management, in order to gain a better understanding of this new urban phenomenon. Data and information about data-driven smart city initiatives have been collected from secondary sources. The presented case studies were explored through desk research using online resources, such as the web pages of smart city initiatives. Smart Cities were selected based on their rankings in the IESE Cities in Motion Index 2022. In addition, multiple regressions were used to identify the relationship between the independent variables (environment protection, mobility and transportation management, urban planning) and dependent variable-value of city’s ranking in the IESE Cities in Motion Index. Findings: The results illustrate that the majority of cities use data-driven solutions in all categories to improve city management, efficiency and achieve sustainability goals. All research hypotheses have been accepted, therefore data-driven solutions implemented in all key areas of sustainable city management (urban planning, mobility and transportation management, and environment protection) positively influence performance of achieving sustainability goals. Research limitations/implications: The selection of a limited number of case studies is a limitation of this research. It is therefore important to explore the potential of data-driven smart city solutions in urban development and city management in more detail by considering more cases. Future research should explore the impacts of other variables related to sustainability, which can determinate performance of sustainable city management. A future study should try to validate the result by using a wider sample. Originality/value: The conducted research combines quantitative and quantitative analysis in order to identify the determinants of effective achievement of sustainable development goals in city management. This study provides a form of grounding for further discussion to debate over big data computing on forms of the operational functioning, planning, design, development, and governance of smart sustainable cities in the future.

Artykuł przedstawia powietrzne taksówki elektryczne, jako innowacyjne rozwiązanie w logistyce miejskiej. Wprowadzeniem do tematu jest opis teorii dynamicznie rozwijającej się koncepcji Smart City, pozwalającej na eliminację niekorzystnych skutków rozwoju aglomeracji oraz dokładniejszą koordynację miasta jako organizmu. Spośród 6 obszarów, które obejmuje Smart City, artykuł poświęcony jest mobilności oraz nowoczesnym rozwiązaniom elektromobilnym, takim jak: elektryczne i hybrydowe samochody, metro, hulajnogi elektryczne, drony itd., wprowadzane w celu dywersyfikacji transportu. Druga połowa artykułu skupia się na opracowywanych obecnie modelach powietrznych taksówek elektrycznych oraz infrastrukturze niezbędnej do ich działania. Istotną inspiracją do powstania artykułu były Światowe Wystawy EXPO2020 w Dubaju, podczas których zostały zaprezentowane niektóre z opisywanych modeli. W polskiej literaturze niewiele źródeł porusza opisywaną tematykę, ale prace nad prototypami są na takim etapie zaawansowania, że wprowadzenie tego rozwiązania w niektórych miejscach na Ziemi jest jedynie kwestią czasu.

This article presents electric air taxis as an innovative solution in urban logistics. An introduction to the subject is presented with a description of the theory of the dynamically developing Smart City concept, which makes it possible to eliminate the disadvantages of agglomeration development and to coordinate the city as an organism more accurately. Of the 6 areas that SmartCity covers, the article focuses on mobility and modern electromobility solutions, such as electric and hybrid cars, metros, electric scooters, drones, etc., being introduced to diversify transport. The second half of the article focuses on the electric air taxi models currently under development and the infrastructure required for their operation. An important inspiration for the article was the EXPO2020 World Expo in Dubai, during which some of the models described were presented. Few sources in the Polish literature address the described issues, but work on prototypes is at such a stage of advancement that the introduction of this solution in some places on Earth is only a matter of time.

There is currently a gap in our academic and practical understanding of the concept of resilience in cyber space at the level of the state, hampering research and policy- making due to the lack of a rigorously constructed, shared terminology. This article contributes to this area by providing a comprehensive capacities-based conceptualisation of state-level cyber resilience. After establishing that cyber resilience is necessary and that it should be developed at the state level, we perform a rigorous exploration of the concept of resilience as it pertains to the different areas involved in state-level cyber resilience. Seeking the most salient characteristics of each one, we identify from the general concept of resilience that it is a non-static process requiring an availability of assets; from state resilience, we identify that resilience capacities are harboured at multiple levels and across actors within the polity; and from cyber resilience, we identify that there is a plethora of different potential damages. Taking all this into consideration, our resulting concept of state-level cyber resilience is the following: the ability of a state, which (a) is made up of multiple layers, to (b) harness a set of key assets in order to (c) confront a particular type of damage to its cyber space, by (d) going through the stages of coping and eventually recovering to its normal state. Having constructed this conceptual framework, this work aids researchers and decision-makers by providing a common terminology and fostering a systematic, multidimensional approach to states’ capacity for resilience in cyber-space.

Smart cities (SCs) are a new and rising phenomenon emerging across the globe. The present article focuses on the possible impact of SCs on socio-political life and structure, and the organisation of the target society. Here, SCs are critically considered as the spaces where people live, work and vote. The aim of the present article is to discuss SCs, and the digital technologies used in SCs, as a possible instrument of social and political ordering and of social exclusion. Drawing on empirical evidence from Egypt, particularly Egypt’s new capital, the article sketches out how the smart city has been used by political and military authorities to socially and politically order and engineer society as well as ef- fectively exclude certain groups, mainly political opponents. Life in the new smart capital has a Janus face. On the one hand, inhabitants of the city have access to excellent services, modern infrastructure, first-class education and health care, and high-tech digital technol- ogies which other Egyptians do not benefit from. On the other hand, these inhabitants are under permanent control and are prisoners of the system. Living segregated, with less free- dom than any other Egyptian citizens, they are excluded from natural life in the country and cannot experience any organic development of society.

W artykule przedstawiono omówienie aktualnych trendów zdalnego odczytu wodomierzy, jako ważnego elementu tzw. inteligentnych miast. Szczególną uwagę poświęcono technologii WIZE 169 MHz. Zaprezentowano także wstępne wyniki badań skuteczności działania systemu zdalnego odczytu wodomierzy bazującego na tej technologii. Badania przeprowadzono wykorzystując pilotażowe wdrożenie tego systemu w Augustowie i okolicach, zrealizowane w październiku 2020 r. przez firmę AquaRD. Pilotażem objęto 73 wodomierze przesyłające dane do pojedynczego koncentratora oddalonego maksymalnie o 7,5 km. Celem tego wdrożenia było praktyczne sprawdzenie dojrzałości zastosowanej technologii WIZE 169 MHz do wdrożeń komercyjnych. W ramach pilotażu badano możliwości tej technologii zarówno w kontekście efektywności odczytu (odczyt z trudnych lokalizacji np. oddalonych czy okresowo zalewanych studzienek, a także miejsc bez sygnału telefonii komórkowej), a także wykorzystania powstałego narzędzia informatycznego integrującego proces odczytu i zarządzania wodomierzami.

The article presents an overview of the current trends in remote reading of water meters as an important element of the so-called smart cities. Particular attention was paid to WIZE 169 MHz technology. Preliminary results of the research on the effectiveness of the remote reading of water meters based on this technology are also presented. The research was carried out using the pilot implementation of this system in Augustów and its vicinity, carried out in October 2020 by the AquaRD company. The pilot project covered 73 water meters transmitting data to a single concentrator located up to 7.5 km away. The purpose of this implementation was to test the maturity of the applied WIZE 169 MHz technology for commercial implementations. As part of the pilot study, the possibilities of this technology were investigated both in the context of reading efficiency (reading from difficult locations, e.g. remote or periodically flooded manholes, as well as places without a cell phone signal), as well as the use of the developed IT tool that integrates the process of reading and managing water meters.
