Abstract
Humans have always sought a place for safe living with the comforts and facilities to do decent work and for the family's healthy growth. This chapter aims to guide understanding smart and sustainable cities by presenting a survey of chronological aspects, elements and components of smart cities, smart cities' indicators, solutions to city problems, and other aspects related to smart cities. The authors also propose a Smart and Sustainable Cities Puzzle that contains the main components of a smart city to which various pieces of the puzzle can be added depending on the characteristics and needs of the city, indicators of smart cities; the idea is that trafficking in a city with technological elements allows citizens to better their quality of life, but that there must be optimum management (minimisation and maximisation) of all components involved in the city order to optimise time, money, and effort. This chapter can serve as a basis for experts' academic knowledge and professional practice in sensors and decision-makers.
