Smart city management is part of the Smart Cities concept and can be an essential element for further development in this area. The BIM concept, based on a 3D model, data and for all the beneficial cooperation, expands exponentially in the civil engineering. However, the BIM concept is so broad and there are many possibilities in his area, that the development will take many years. One of these areas may be simulations that are not so widely used so far, but which can very well specify different situations and conditions. For these conditions, buildings or cities can be prepared in advance to prevent crises or unnecessary costs. The simulations and the results obtained from them can help us in the decision making phase. They predict problems or situations that can occur during the life cycle and thus prevent them from occurring. Based on the information we receive, we can objectively decide on the design solution, the material, the internal arrangement or, for example, the location of the building in the surrounding area.
