Abstract

Smart city concept concerns urban innovations based on but not limited by the wide application of IoT. Whereas, four dimensions encompass various elements of smart cities: governance dimension, environ-urban dimension, socio-institutional dimension, and techno-economic. The research focuses on the score of factors contributing to the environ-urban dimension. Based on the previous research of the authors, where the elements of the studied dimension were listed according to their importance, this paper uses QCA methodology in order to understand which elements should be proceeded first among the element of similar high importance when driving cities to the smart development. Fourteen cities in which smart practices are being realised, were retrieved among a top hundred cities around the globe from the heatmap which shows the places people like the most. The paper concludes with the recommendations what elements are able to fill environ-urban dimension effectively, that can support cities which have recently started the way to the smart city concept.

Highlights

In 2018, 55% of the worlds population lived in urban areas, a proportion that is expected to increase to 68% by 2050 [1]
In a scientific world a smart city concept is acknowledged as a driver for urban innovation, that could address the rapid growth of urban areas and increase the quality of living cities [2, 3]
Bibri and Krogstie wrote that a smart sustainable city is associated with massive use of advanced ICT, which enhance various elements of a smart city concept and pillars of sustainable development [10]

Summary

Introduction

In 2018, 55% of the worlds population lived in urban areas, a proportion that is expected to increase to 68% by 2050 [1]. The continuous growth of urban areas of many cities across the globe is a predictable results of such process. This has been made possible by an application of newest urban technologies, urban design and planning, partnerships between relevant stakeholders, etc. The concept of a smart city emerged. In a scientific world a smart city concept is acknowledged as a driver for urban innovation, that could address the rapid growth of urban areas and increase the quality of living cities [2, 3]
