Description

Are you interested in the three main domains involved in smart cities? 
Our summary today works with the article titled Defining smart city: A conceptual framework based on keyword analysis from 2014 by Farnaz Mosannenzadeh and Daniele Vettorato, published in the Journal of Land Use, Mobility and Environment. 
Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see the smart city concepts’ keyword analysis and its results. This article presents the three main domains involved in smart cities, and a framework to translate smart city to each of these domains.
As the most important things, I would like to highlight 3 aspects:

Smart city is a holistic approach that aims to address recent urban challenges and exploit recent opportunities provided by the advancements in technology and urbanisation.
Smart city needs to include ICT, integrate different domains, collaborate across stakeholders, and invest in social capital and innovation.
Each city needs to find its own smart city meaning based on their specifics answering the questions of why, who, what, how, when and where.

Abstract: “Smart city” is a concept that has been the subject of increasing attention in urban planning and governance during recent years. The first step to create Smart Cities is to understand its concept. However, a brief review of literature shows that the concept of Smart City is the subject of controversy. Thus, the main purpose of this paper is to provide a conceptual framework to define Smart City. To this aim, an extensive literature review was done. Then, a keyword analysis on literature was held against main research questions (why, what, who, when, where, how) and based on three main domains involved in the policy decision making process and Smart City plan development: Academic, Industrial and Governmental. This resulted in a conceptual framework for Smart City. The result clarifies the definition of Smart City, while providing a framework to define Smart City’s each sub-system. Moreover, urban authorities can apply this framework in Smart City initiatives in order to recognize their main goals, main components, and key stakeholders.
