3. What makes a city smart?

4. Smart city: definition
• “There is neither a single template of framing a smart city, nor a one-size-fits-all definition
of it”
• California Institute for Smart Communities was among the first (1990s) to focus on how
communities could become smart and how a city could be designed to implement
information technologies
• Harrison et al. (2010), in an IBM corporate document, stated that the term “smart city”
denotes an “instrumented, interconnected and intelligent city.”
• “Instrumented” refers to the capability of capturing and integrating live real-world data
through sensors, meters, appliances, personal devices, and other similar sensors
• “Interconnected” means the integration of these data into a computing platform that
allows the communication of such information among the various city services
• “Intelligent” refers to the inclusion of complex analytics, modelling, optimization, and
visualization services to make better operational decisions

5. Smart technologies and services
• This research is focused on the local governments of municipalities that are labeled as
“Smart Cities” and are members of the EUROCITIES network
• This network is together the local governments of over 180 of Europe’s largest cities and
40 partner cities, 130 million citizens across 35 countries
• Types of e-service (% of cities offering that service)
 Civil registry (57.14%)
 Business (48.81%)
 Waste Management (55.95%)
 Tourism (50.00%)
 Financial affairs (66.67%)
 Health services (32.14%)
