“…Therefore, this work highlights an important list of smart city elements that can help in the elaboration of the frame of reference for smart city development. Picardal et al (2020) present the transformation of Bellevue city in Washington to a Smart city. This transformation is started by testing a water module in its new City Portal, starting with a dashboard that would organize and optimize data for a better customer, utility and city experience.…”

Despite the importance of the smart city concept, few works address how to define and implement smart cities in a clear manner. Furthermore, the smart city literature provides heterogeneous studies and solutions; this heterogeneity creates misunderstanding regarding the smart city definition and strategy. Moreover, stakeholders have multiple and conflicting interests and concerns, which also increase the ambiguity regarding the smart city concept and approach. To meet this challenge and fill this gap, a smart city frame of reference is needed to frame and guide smart city strategy formulation and implementation. In this perspective, the current research conducts a quantitative analysis of various smart city frameworks and strategies, in order to find and demonstrate the common building blocks of a smart city framework. Based on the quantitative analysis, this work proposes a clear and integrative smart city framework. This framework aims to reduce the misunderstanding and ambiguity regarding smart city definitions and strategies by providing a standard smart city approach that fits all smart city contexts. To this effect, the proposed framework considers all smart city concerns and it is composed of the following blocks: Strategic awareness, business strategic planning, IT investment decisions, IT organizational structure, steering committee, IT prioritization process, IT strategic planning, IT budgeting, marketing plan, IT reaction capacity, IT reporting and management strategy.

If we keep in mind that we live in an age marked by digitalization, industry 5.0, as well as the accelerated population growth in urban regions, it is easy to conclude that the concept of smart cities is a very relevant topic for research. The aim of this paper is to examine whether and to what extent the concept of smart cities has been implemented in the city administration in the countries of the Western Balkans. For that purpose, a research was conducted, which includes surveying employed in various administrations in the following cities: Belgrade, Nis, Kragujevac, Trebinje, Podgorica, Herceg Novi, City of Skopje. The data indicate the fact that the respondents from Belgrade, Trebinje and Herceg Novi have the most knowledge and the most transparent insight into the data concerning smart city projects, while the respondents from Podgorica are the least knowledgeable about the entire issue. The general conclusion is that, although there are examples of cities with very positive progress in the field of implementation of smart city development strategies, there are still numerous problems in the implementation of projects in the countries of the Western Balkans.
