| Abstract |
This paper discusses how to transform urban centres into smarter and sustainable cities by leveraging emerging and disruptive technologies. Blockchain and Internet of Things (IoT) are presented in this paper as some of the most promising technologies for enhancing the cities modus operandi. The fundamental components for achieving a transformational process towards citizens' needs have been identified based on a systematic literature review and by analysing a recent practical case. As a result, a conceptual framework for understanding the dynamics of the emerging technologies in a smart city context, and for predicting the potential benefits of those technologies, is proposed. |
