Human environments like cities are traditionally accepted as static systems. This perception makes the
transition to smart cities harder due to sustainability issues. As a phenomenon, "smart city" defines a
dynamic environment. Furthermore, emerging technologies affect the management approach of the
cities like many other systems. These technologies change the attitude of the stakeholders in
independent ways that are not necessarily compatible. The key point on value adding smart systems of
a smart city is governing all these systems in coordination. Therefore, operation of these systems
allows a smart city to be transformed into an autonomous entity. In this paper, we discuss the
requirements and challenges of developing a smart city as a self-learning ICT system. Our solution
approach is also introduced in the paper to develop an ultimate smart city namely "the autonomous
city".
