Dear Colleague,

We are proud to introduce the Fourth issue of the Journal of Smart Cities and Society (SCS) which offers three contributions to the field with reports of innovation in e-health, road infrastructure monitoring, and quality of service on technological infrastructure. All articles are free to read and are listed below.

The editorial team of this journal expects that the contributions included in this issue will provide new tools to address some of the many challenges ahead to realize this societal paradigm shift and inspires and guides other colleagues in this developing community to further innovate in this sector.

We encourage all sectors of society to engage in this technical conversation as our view of this area as a multidisciplinary one will require the input of various different professions and different levels of involvement within urban environments to produce effective innovation

With kind regards,

Juan Carlos Augusto
Editor-in-Chief
