Abstract
The concept of smart cities arose against the background of economic and technological changes caused by processes of integration and globalization, which European cities have been forced to face common challenges in the context of competitiveness and sustainable development. These challenges have an observable impact on issues related to the quality of the urban environment such as housing, complete urban infrastructure, commercial sector and their environmental impact. This concept thus includes the overall quality of urban life through the built and unbuilt urban environment, urban economy, social environment, urban culture, human and social capital and participation of citizens in government and the city. In this paper authors are trying to outline the problematic areas of Bratislava to achieve Smart City concept, whereby they take inspiration from the neighboring city of Vienna, which in turn is considered as one of the top smart cities in Europe.
