and most importantly must take the privacy of its citizens into account. In
short, cities should focus on UN’s environmental and financial sustainability
goals, and increase their citizens’ level of welfare (Ahvenniemi et al, 2017).
Resiliency and smart cities are concepts that support each other on three
fundamental aspects (Moraci et al 2018): In terms of physical dimension, the
internet of things, and infrastructure technologies (Abreu et al, 2017). In terms
of physical aspects, many studies have confirmed that technologies utilized
in smart cities have a positive effect on the resiliency of cities (de Falco et al,
2019). In terms of social and environmental aspects, the concept of resiliency
draws a fundamental framework for the applications that offer sustainable
and nature-based solutions (Hiller and Blanke, 2017). Table 1 lists the positive
effects of smart city applications on urban resiliency based on recent studies.
