Cities are constantly transforming and, consequently, attracting efforts from researchers and opportunities to the industry. New transportation systems are being built in order to meet sustainability and efficiency criteria, as well as being adapted to the current possibilities. Moreover, citizens are becoming aware about the power and possibilities provided by the current generation of autonomous devices. In this sense, this paper presents and discusses state-of-the-art transportation technologies and systems, highlighting the advances that the concepts of Internet of Things and Value are providing. Decentralized technologies, such as blockchain, are been extensively investigated by the industry, however, its widespread adoption in cities is still desirable. Aligned with operations research opportunities, this paper identifies different points in which cities’ services could move to. This also study comments about different combinatorial optimization problems that might be useful and important for an efficient evolution of our cities. By considering different perspectives, didactic examples are presented with a main focus on motivating decision makers to balance citizens, investors and industry goals and wishes.

A global trend has been motivating programmers, investors, and the academia to go towards decentralized systems. Besides providing efficient solutions for complex problems faced in our daily life, these peer-to-peer communication protocols have been promoting greater freedom and transparency. In this paper, we point out open fields for researching, thinking, and developing in the context of Smart Cities and Smart Grids. Future cities will surely rely on efficient, autonomous, transparent, collaborative, and decentralized environment. In particular, we consider how renewable energy resources could be integrated with mini-/microgrids, which will be hearth of the future cities. Furthermore, we discuss possibilities for promoting territorial development, through the assistance of Blockchain-based platforms embedded with Computational Intelligence tools.
