Smart cities consulting is an advisory service that helps developers, cities, and regions plan, design, and implement strategies to become "smart"—that is, more efficient, sustainable, technologically advanced, and responsive to the needs of residents and businesses. The idea is to guide clients and their partners through the complex process of digital transformation, urban innovation, and sustainable development. The impetus for this work comes from the realization that information and communication technologies (ICT), the Internet of Things (IoT), and data analytics can improve the way cities are planned and managed.

Sustainable cities consulting refers to advisory services that help urban areas become more environmentally friendly, socially inclusive, and economically viable. This involves working with city governments, developers, and stakeholders to design and implement strategies that minimize ecological footprints, improve quality of life, and ensure long-term resilience for both people and the environment. Key goals cover managing resources, addressing climate, developing infrastructure, improving transportation, fostering community engagement, and promoting economic development.
