IEEE SmartCity 2021 CFP (December 17-19, 2021, Haikou, China)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The 19th IEEE International Conference on Smart City (Smart City 2021)
http://www.ieee-cybermatics.org/2021/smartcity/
December 17-19, 2021, Haikou, China


INTRODUCTION
----------------------------------
Smart cities (also smarter cities) use digital technologies to enhance
performance and wellbeing, to reduce costs and resource consumption, and to
engage more effectively and actively with its citizens. Developing a smart
city to better support growing urban population is a global and complex
challenge and involves interdisciplinary fields. Key "smart" sectors
include transportation, smart building, energy, health care, and water
systems.

As a highly successful International Conferences on Smart City, IEEE
SmartCity is aiming to be a premier international conference in smart city.
The SmartCity-2021 is the 19th edition of a forum to bring together
computer scientists, industrial engineers and researchers to discuss and
exchange experimental or theoretical results, novel designs,
work-in-progress, experience, case studies, and trend-setting ideas in the
area of smart city.

SPECIAL ISSUES
