| Abstract |
The present paper aims to answer the following research questions: i) is the smart and sustainable city environment a stimulus for the urban knowledge-based economy? ii) which profiles of smart and sustainable city are more conducive to stimulate the urban knowledgebased economy? In order to answer to the aforementioned research questions, this study develops a framework and multidimensional indexes to better explain the different dimensions of a 'smart sustainable city' and their impact on the knowledge-based economy. The analysis was performed on a sample of 116 Italian cities. Italy is an interesting context, while large cities (that present hard and soft infrastructures) and smaller cities (in which the quality of life tend to be higher) coexist. Our study makes a significant contribution to the literature because it provides a new approach to under-standing the factors influencing a smart city and identifies profiles that are important in the development of the economic growth at urban-level, providing implications for academics and urban policy makers. |
