Abstract

Building Smart City management concepts is based on the implementation and use of advanced technologies. The primary impulse for writing the article was the ambition to identify the current advanced technologies of Smart City management. The aim of the article is to propose a general model for the implementation of advanced technologies for Smart City management, based on the knowledge gained from the analysis of literature and case studies. In order to fulfill the set goal, it is necessary to obtain answers to two research questions. The findings were obtained through a secondary analysis of the literature, i.e., relevant articles from the scientific databases Web of Science and Scopus analysis of case studies of the best Smart Cities practices. According to the Smart City Index 2020 and IESE Cities in Motion, the leaders among the Smart Cities are Singapore and London, followed by Helsinki. In addition to the analyses, the article also uses methods of summarization, comparison, creativity, logic, induction and deduction. Smart Cities use 12 identified advanced technologies in their practice. Strategic management in Singapore, London and Helsinki adapts technology to the needs and requirements of its citizens, thus connecting the technological aspect with the managerial and social aspects. The contributions of the work include results for fellow researchers and a model for strategic management of new Smart Cities. The results of the article provide fellow researchers with the findings of a secondary analysis of relevant articles, from which they can draw when writing their own publications without the need for time-consuming search of the articles about this topic in databases. The general model of implementation of advanced technologies serves as a basis for strategic management of new Smart Cities that want to implement a technological base and at the same time do not want to forget the managerial and social aspects. Testing the model in practice with a new Slovak Smart City is part of future research activities.

Summary

Introduction

An essential part of building a developed knowledge society is the effective use of advanced technologies (intelligent applications, process digitization, use of UAV resources in combination with information and communication technologies (ICT), real-time data processing and evaluation) in process management of large and complex systems such as a Smart City. The implementation of these technologies is effectively used in the processes of city management, managing limited resources and addressing stakeholder requirements [1,2]. Information and communication technologies contribute to the promotion of the sustainability of the Smart City and a higher quality of life of its citizens. The implementation of sensors, action units, communication platforms and interconnected systems generates data architectures [3]. Information and communication technologies are being developed in a particular social and cultural environment in collaboration with communities, which are the driving force behind innovation and sustainable development [4]
