Journal: MDPI Smart Cities

Topic: Blockchain/DLT: Opportunities, Challenges and Solutions for Smart
Cities

Dear Colleagues,

Blockchain and other trustless systems have turned into mainstream
phenomena that are seen as powerful game-changers for many industries.
The characteristics of blockchain and DLTs (distributed ledger
technologies), such as immutability, security, and programmability,
offer numerous opportunities for creating solutions that enable and
foster the development of smart cities. Examples include, but are not
limited to, the application of smart contracts to facilitate
transactions, the creation of novel services and applications, the
deployment of innovative security and privacy solutions, as well as the
reorganization of the public sector (e.g., governmental spending
transparency).

For this Special Issue, we invite papers that describe and explore the
application of blockchain and related technologies in smart cities.
Furthermore, we are interested in empirical research that explains the
implications of blockchain in this context. We will publish papers that
clearly outline how those technologies have been applied; what the
rationale for their application was and, finally, what the outcome was.
