Smarty City is emerging as a strategy to mitigate the problems generated by the urban population growth and rapid urbanization. A Smart City interconnects human capital, social capital, and ICT infrastructure in order to address public issues.

Through this interconnection, a sustainable development is achieved and the quality of life for citizens is improved.

The smart cities rely on, among others, a collection of smart computing technologies that are applied to critical infrastructure components and services

Taking advantage of this development, Malswitch presented to the Council Parking, E-Ticketing and Mobile City Rates Collection platforms for consideration.
