The Impact of Urban Smartification and Urban Security on Achieving Sustainable Urban Development

Urban security is a condition where risks and other factors causing physical harm are controlled, thereby ensuring the health and well-being of individuals. Today, security is considered the most important goal of any country, and its absence or deficiencies in its establishment can challenge the healthy life of citizens. Naturally, places with all their characteristics and the type of human perception and behavior within them can shape spaces with positive or negative security. The city is one of the most prominent manifestations of human life and has undergone many ups and downs since its initial formation. The method of its governance has also evolved significantly throughout history. On the other hand, with the expansion of electronic knowledge and technology, machine thinking, and modern communications, many patterns and qualities of urban life have begun to change at an unprecedented pace, leading to the concept of urban smartification. Thus, the present study aims to examine the impact of urban smartification and urban security on achieving sustainable urban development. The research is descriptive and conducted through a library method. The results show that a smart city is one that can maintain, control, and integrate all infrastructure, such as roads, tunnels, airways, waterways, railways, communication sources, etc. It can also help optimize resources and address security issues. Given the facilities and capabilities that smartification brings to cities, achieving sustainable urban development indicators in communities will be more accessible and readily available to citizens in the urban space.
