摘要

Rapid population growth has a negative social and economic impact on the urban city. Population growth can be the result of increasing migration from rural to urban cities. It reduces the quality of life, reduces welfare level, endanger safety and security of urban city. It is a threat for the resilience of the city. Additionally, it causes pollution, lack of utility services, and the source of congestion. The housing market becomes vulnerable, and rent gets more expensive for everyone. Buying new houses in highly populated urban cities is also difficult due to increasing demand. The price of new dwellings is almost double, even triple in crowded urban cities because of supply constraint demand. To resolve such utility problems and increase energy efficiency, smart cities must install smart meters. Moreover, installing smart water meters and accessing well developed information computer technology (ICT) are essential in smart urban cities. Readers of this chapter will have comprehensive information about the needs of a smart city during the transformation process, especially as a case study of Catalkoy-Esentepe region. Urban mobility causes an increasing number of motor vehicles in use, which causes severe traffic congestion, carbon emission, noise pollution, hazards of road accidents, and waste of financial resources on gasoline expenditures. To safeguard carbon free environment, it is proposed to expand bicycle roads and pedestrian paths. Public transport must be improved in Catalkoy-Esentepe region with newly built ring roads, bypasses, underpasses, elevated roads and installation of digital signalization on crossroads. This chapter will explore the discussions about the concepts of rainwater management, sanitation, solid waste management, energy efficiency, rehabilitation of green and blue spaces, construction of advanced technology of internet infrastructure, good governance and the need for spatial planning for the development of Catalkoy-Esentepe as a case study of future smart city in North Cyprus.
