| Title | Smart cities: definitions, dimensions, and performance |
| Year | 2013 |
| Published | |
| Abstract | Purpose - The concept of smart city is getting more and more relevant for both academics and policy makers. Despite this, there is still confusion on what a smart city is and several similar terms are often used interchangeably. This paper aims at clarifying the meaning of the word "smart" in the context of cities and to identify the main dimensions and elements characterizing a smart city. Furthermore, performance measures of a smart city will be identified. Design/methodology/approach - We propose an approach based on an in-depth literature review of relevant studies as well as of official documents of international institutions. Originality/value - This paper will bring clarity to the meaning and characteristics of a smart city. The different metrics of urban smartness will be reviewed to show the need for a shared definition of what is a smart city, which are its features and which performance it has in comparison to traditional cities. Practical implications - The results of this paper could be useful for policy makers to identify smart cities, to plan incentives for their development and, through the identified measures of performance, to monitor the progresses of cities towards getting smarter cities. |
