Smart city trends – where does Zsámbéki Park stand? A model of sustainable urban development

The “smart city” initiative is one of the most important directions of global urban development, which is based on the triad of sustainable energy use, digital public services and community interactions. The essence of this concept is to create an urban environment that is more efficient, environmentally friendly and livable for the population by using technology and innovation.

Following numerous European and domestic examples, the Zsámbék Science and Innovation Park is also taking shape along this concept, and has set itself the goal of building an integrated center that can be a model for the cities of the future. The Park will not only be a research and development institution, but also a living laboratory where smart city solutions can be tested and applied in practice.

The center includes the following main elements, which form the pillars of the smart city concept:

Green energy and sustainability: During the design of the buildings, special attention is paid to energy efficiency, the implementation of efficient recycling systems, and the use of renewable energy sources, such as solar panels. This ensures the Park's low environmental footprint and long-term sustainability.

Digital services: The Park will feature advanced digital infrastructure, including smart community spaces and ultra-fast mobile connections. These technologies will improve the efficiency of building operations and facilitate the development of innovative services.

Community and collaboration: The Park will not only be a technology hub, but also a dynamic community space. Community and coworking spaces, open innovation programs, and educational partnerships will facilitate collaboration between researchers, entrepreneurs, and students, encouraging knowledge sharing and co-creation.

With this integrated approach, the Park will become a model not only at the regional but also at the national level for the cities of the future. The aim of the Zsámbék Science and Innovation Park is to be at the forefront of sustainable and intelligent urban development, contributing to improving the quality of life of the population, strengthening the innovation ecosystem and creating a more livable future.
