According to projections, practically 70% of the world population will reside in urban areas by 2050. We need to create smart cities to make these urban areas more livable and truly sustainable.

The basic of a smart city is the integration of the information and communication technology (ICT), and various physical devices connected to the IoT network to optimize the efficiency of city operations and services and connect to citizens. These connections enable economic benefits and improve citizens’ lives. 

The 9th International Congress on Natural Science and Engineering (ICNSE) will be held from January 20 to 22 in Nagoya, Japan. World’s scholars, professionals and researchers interested in creating a better future will gather in the congress and discuss the development, technologies of smart cities and its impacts on natural sciences.
