Abstract

During the latest ten years, several cities all over the world have been starting to develop their own smart strategy, aiming at improving the quality of life of citizens and reducing environmental footprint. However, smart city are a jeopardized phenomenon, and smart cities show heterogeneous profiles. Moreover, also the scientific researches lack of a shared definition of smart city; and smart city and digital city are often confused each other owing the large use of ICT in both of them. In this chapter, the smart city concept is analyzed, considering two main aspects: the strategic vision of a smart city and its benefits. A smart city strategic vision is of paramount importance for effectively driving the local policies in implementing smart initiatives pursuing shared goals. Smart city benefits are often declared, but not measured; to better define smart city performance is indispensable for realizing better outcome for citizens and other stakeholders.
