With the rapid growth of cities and the increase in urban population, the needs and problems of people living in cities are increasing. People living in the city want the possibilities offered in other cities to be offered to them, want to take advantage of the possibilities in different qualities and characteristics. The solution of problems concentrated in areas such as electricity, water, transport, environment, health, infrastructure work that arise in cities in every area is no longer able to produce solutions by traditional methods, the solutions brought are short-term. Therefore, the solution of problems arising in cities begins to be presented taking into account the developments in science and technology in the provision of services brought to cities. In a digitalized world, cities are also forced to follow the digital process. Digitalization of cities is now important to ensure the sustainability of cities, to provide more sustainable solutions to the needs of society and becomes an obligation for urban governance. To take advantage of the technological possibilities in the urban service offerings is not an option; it is now mandatory. With the use of technology in service offering, it contributes to better viewing problems, bringing more efficient solutions with limited resources, and the faster resolution of the problems of the city people. In this changing process, local governments are now developing new methods and new models by leaving the traditional service presentation models in the urban service offerings. These applications have revealed the application of smart cities in the world and in our country. Academic interest in smart cities is also growing rapidly.
