Agentic AI in Smart Cities

(Agentic AI in SC)

Riga, Latvia, 23-26 August, 2026

Smart cities strategy design is a relatively new research field that appeared with the concept of smart city. It consists on the development of innovative solutions to increase the quality of life of a given city and ensure its sustainability. The design of smart cities strategies is a laborious and hard task. It requires a lot of efforts from stakeholders to identify the city problems and develop strategies that solve those problems.
Technologies like Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence (AI) are employed to build city infrastructure and citizen-oriented services. Agentic AI is a new but promising concept that could involve Internet of Things (Internet of Agents), AI techniques like Reinforcement Learning.
Agentic AI systems in Smart City involves agents, humans and external tools that work together to take decisions and extract data at real time. Such type of systems could reshape the vision of the smart city in different contexts such as data retrieval, decision-making and city governance.
The researchers are invited to propose methodologies, systems, infrastructures and services that emphasise human-agent interactions in such systems, infrastructures and citizen-oriente
