The cloud computing model gives unique opportunity to design city logistics infrastructure in the way that it is
easily adaptive to changing transport demands. To meet this opportunity it is extremely important to standardize
infrastructure, platforms and applications necessary to provide maximum efficiency from the systems and other
available resources. Standardization accelerates technology diffusion helping to manage the city in a sustainable
manner having in mind the holistic impact of decisions taken on different dimensions and systems in cities’
activities.
Cloud computing will be a powerful enabler of both digital-city and digital-society initiatives because it makes
massive computing and storage power and sophisticated applications available to anyone: an individual, small
business, Non-governmental Organizations, local authority or a large metropolitan government. As cloud computing
services become more mature and trusted, in the short term they will reduce the threshold of funding and technical
knowledge required to implement new applications. This can drive a wave of ICT-enabled innovation throughout
cities and society. The example of IT usage in digitally enabled cities is presented i
