This conceptual paper discusses how we can consider a particular city as a smart one, drawing on recent practices to make cities smart. A set of the common multidimensional components underlying the smart city concept and the core factors for a successful smart city initiative is identified by exploring current working definitions of smart city and a diversity of various conceptual relatives similar to smart city. The paper offers strategic principles aligning to the three main dimensions (technology, people, and institutions) of smart city: integration of infrastructures and technology-mediated services, social learning for strengthening human infrastructure, and governance for institutional improvement and citizen engagement.

e-Government Adoption Model (GAM): Differing service maturity levels

An empirical validation of a unified model of electronic government adoption (UMEGA)

This study represents two critical steps forward in the area of smart city research and practice The first is in the form of the development of a comprehensive conceptualization of smart city as a resource for researchers and government practition- ers; the second is in the form of the creation of a bridge between smart cities research and practice expertise City governments increasingly need innovative arrangements to solve a variety of technical, physical, and social problems "Smart city" could be used to represent efforts that in many ways describe a vision of a city, but there is little clarity about this new concept This paper proposes a comprehensive conceptualization of smart city, including its main components and several specific elements Academic literature is used to create a robust framework, while a review of practical tools is used to identify specific elements or aspects not treated in the academic studies, but essential to create an integrative and comprehensive conceptualization of smart city The paper also provides policy implications and suggests areas for future research in this topic

The Implementation Model of a Digital City. The Case Study of the Digital City of Trikala, Greece: e-Trikala

In this paper the development methodology of a collaboration environment for public servants is presented. The methodology defines the importance of the specific environment for both the delivery of non-automated public services through one-stop e-government portals and for the self-maturation of Public Administration in digital transactions. The use of the collaborative environment can establish the bottom-up design of e-Government, supporting the discovery, evaluation, improvement and delivery of public services. On the other hand, the installation of a collaborative environment in Public Administration has many requirements such as the development of a proper legal framework for guiding cooperation and service execution. The use of the environment can support the diffusion of e-Government to both citizens and civil servants, while it can succeed in the modernization of Public Administration.
