Studies in the field of City Technologies have been intensifying recently and the resources allocated by the municipalities to this area are increasing under the concept of "Smart City". Although there are many different definitions as Smart City, the Union of Municipalities of Marmara defines it as "a city that can adapt to changing conditions, use its resources efficiently and sustainably with the help of technology and information (processed data) in order to increase the quality of life of its citizens and visitors". The advances in Information and Communication Technologies and the increase in rapid data processing and algorithm development capabilities enable us to easily solve the complex problems in many areas of our individual and social life. The intensive use of technologies brings about the transformation of planning and management activities into a more sustainable structure by solving the problems arising from the current functioning of our cities. Various examples of developing technologies and their use will be shared by the participants in the panel.
