Smart city as an urban development vision is targeting on sustainable city development and higher quality of life. Such vision is reachable by complex multidisciplinary approach based on balanced excelling in multiple key areas like environment, economy, people living, and government and its success is tightly connected with investments in human and social capital, as well as in mobility and ICT communication infrastructure. Even though smart city development emphasizes both environmental, economic as well as social aspects of sustainability, the social sustainable development is faced to the weakest possibility to be well understood, objectively quantified and managed. This paper points out the social aspects with aim to identify principal importance to effectively include these aspects in all critical processes and decisions to ensure reaching one of the key the goals of Smart city vision – the higher quality of life.
