description A smart city should provide an urban environment that provides residents with a high quality of life while generating economic growth. Smart cities are not just a global trend, it is not some modern technological revolution that everyone dreams of, in fact, smart cities are a necessity and must be implemented as soon as possible. The success of a smart city requires collaboration with civilian authorities, such as local or federal privacy commissioners, as coordination between different levels of government is often the biggest challenge for smart cities. The future of cities lies in merging new technologies with existing infrastructure to address tangible, urgent issues such as environmental sustainability and economic opportunities. Successful smart cities will build a strong, flexible, digital infrastructure that integrates new technology into the existing structure. The paper explores the smart city concept and its elements, along with the trends in its application in Croatia. Research results show that the application of the smart city concept has been recognized and some Croatian cities have already been involved in the process of implementing certain smart city components.
