Smart Cities is an Engineering Subject that is growing very rapidly and attracting a large number of researchers from different domains. The success of the new era of smart cities depends strongly on the fruitful interaction between the researchers and engineers working in different domains and seeing the subject from different angles to facilitate the design and implementation of reliable and operational smart city. This special issue will be focusing on the Engineering aspects of the smart cities and their impacts. Researchers working in the fields overlapping with the smart city design, modeling, and development as well as those working in the enabling technologies are thus invited to submit original research papers as well as review papers in this issue.
