“…Cosenz and Bivona (2020) showed that SMEs are constantly subject to complex changes imposed by fast-changing markets which force them not only to be able to survive in conditions of aggressive competition but also to successfully orient themselves towards those business models and geographical spaces that will ensure their survival. Blanck et al (2019) in their study remarked a positive correlation among business incubation and urban development which is often associated with the SME internationalization degree.…”

Although the European business environment induces important premises and assures conditions in determining economic growth and social well-being, the determinant and existent connections between the evolution of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), business demography characteristics and the European socio-economic model have been scarcely studied in recent years. The dimensions of the European socio-economic model design a very specific framework in developing business demography and assuring a favorable environment for future SME development. The main aim of the manuscript is to investigate the evolution of the European SMEs sector and the perspective of business demography evolution to converge with exigencies of the European socio-economic model. In order to argue the research objective, eight specific and representative business demography variables were employed, from 12 European Union member states (EU-MS), during 2009–2017. Further, the SMEs’ performances, determined by changing the economic functional paradigm, were assessed. For proving this, an econometric model was designed considering labor productivity as an endogenous variable. Our preliminary analysis shows considerable differences in business demography indicators and SMEs development among all five socio-economic sub-models of the main European socio-economic model, proving a tight connection between European socio-economic models and SMEs’ performance and arguing the necessity of a paradigm convergence. Within some sub-models, there is clear evidence of clustering and convergence in terms of business demography and SMEs future development.

“…Hoy se utiliza el término Ciudad inteligente para caracterizar las áreas geográficas -comunidades, barrios, distritos, ciudades, regiones, etc.-que se conforman como entornos favorables, por un lado, al aprendizaje, al desarrollo tecnológico y a los procedimientos de innovación y, por otro, a los espacios digitales y las herramientas de procesamiento de información y la transferencia de conocimiento y tecnología, (Blanck et al, 2019). Elgazzar y El-Gazzar (2017), enumeran los tres elementos básicos para su desarrollo:…”

“…Smart city concept has evolved over the last decade due to the increasing research on the subject, mostly influenced by new technologies and production systems. Compared to the initial idea that focused primarily on technological infrastructure [1], various identities, meanings and intentions expressed for smart cities have been segregated based on associating them with the various schools of thought, based on [2]. There are 3 approaches of thoughts addressing the SC concept: (1) generic approach, (2) terminological approach, and (3) structural approach as shown in…”

“…The current section divides the literature about smart cities into the 3RC framework and its four schools of thought, namely: (1) restrictive school, (2) reflective school, (3) rationalistic school, and (4) critical school [2], [3]. (1) The restrictive school is primarily oriented to technology; (2) the reflective school focuses on how technology is required to enrich human life; (3) the rationalistic school perceives SC as an integrative mechanism to mediate human interaction with technology; and (4) the critical school addresses the negative effects emerging from the way SC has been planned and implemented.…”

“…In the literature three types of structures that allow the empirical investigation of cities can be identified: (1) abstract models or frameworks that seek to describe the different domains and assets of a SC; (2) models and applications focused on a domain or specific asset of smart cities; and (3) models and applications that describe the SC as a complex. In this research will focus on the Terminological approach by Human perspective and institutional approach [2], [5].…”

Smart cities have always been seen as a chance to apply new digital technologies in every single detail in the life of its inhabitants, while neglecting harmful impacts of technology such as internet addiction, and related digital diseases related to the extensive use of smart technologies on the health of human beings. In light of that, this paper is a trial to start a new vision for smart cities as human-cities with regard to sustainable, environmentally-friendly, and emotionally-reliable-based aspects. This new vision could be called H-SEED (human-sustainable environmental emotional development). It assumes that establishing new indicators for this new vision, H-SEED, gives a chance to recognize how a certain city or development could be H-SEED. The main objective of this paper is to create a new scope of fifth generation smart cities called H-SEED cities which depend on a human-centric approach. It adopts an analytical deductive methodology, and is divided into two parts. First, it reviews conventional trends in smart cities through outlining their history. Second, it shows the assumed established H-SEED indicators, on an existing or new city development. It concludes several composite indicators establish social spectrum to promote human social infrastructure, promote human green infrastructure and Hemotionality.
