The focus of my diploma thesis is the concept of a smart city. With the advent of mod-ern technology, many developed cities have been able to create new solutions to the old problems that classic cities have been facing for decades. In my diploma work we focused primarily on the case study of Ljubljana, as the capital and largest city of Slo-venia as a potential smart city, and presented where Ljubljana is facing difficulties, how it eliminates them with the help of the concepts of the smart city and what is its path to the realization of the smart city. Since each city is also aiming towards meeting the needs of the city's residents, we will check the satisfaction of the citizens with the ser-vices provided and their quality.
We used the descriptive method at work because we describe the state of the city of Ljubljana and in the following we upgraded it with the comparative and qualitative method, since we made a comparison with the state of other similar cities. In the re-search part, we used the quantitative method, through interviews and survey, to de-termine what the citizens of Ljubljana would change.
The results of the analysis showed that the people do not want Ljubljana to become the place where information will be the most valuable source. In doing so, they express their wishes and needs about the path of developing Ljubljana as a smart city for the municipality itself. Although Ljubljana must remain comparable to other European cit-ies, it must direct its development and services according to the needs of its citizens, which is also a key challenge of a smart city.
