“…Cities can be defined as smart if they include the following elements: smart economy, smart mobility, smart environment, smart people, smart living and smart governance [23,24]. The literature, however, provides a number of definitions that are mainly focused on the technological aspect [25][26][27][28][29][30]. It should be noted that only by taking due account of other areas 2 of 24 and their mutual relations will smart cities be able to achieve effective implementation and long term success [31,32].…”

Global change, including population growth, economic development and climate change constitute urgent challenges for the smart cities of the 21st century. Cities need to effectively manage their development and meet challenges that have a significant impact on their economic activity, as well as health and quality of life for their citizens. In the context of continuous change, city decision-makers are constantly looking for new smart tools to tackle it. This article addresses this gap, indicating foresight as an effective tool that anticipates the future of a smart city. Its aim is to develop a methodology for planning and implementing a vision of smart city development based on foresight research. The proposed methodology consists of five stages and was developed with the use of methodology for designing hybrid systems. It is an organised, transparent and flexible process which can facilitate the development of sustainable and smart future visions of smart city development by virtue of the involvement, knowledge and experience of a large number of urban stakeholders at all stages of its creation. The article discusses in detail the operationalisation of each stage of the methodology in which the following main methods were used: megatrend analysis, factors analysis: social (S), technological (T), economic (E), ecological (E), political (P), relating to values (V) and legal (L) (STEEPVL), structural analysis, Delphi, creative visioning, scenarios and identifying actions related to the development of a smart city, divided into four categories: new, so far not undertaken (N); implemented so far, to be continued (C); redundant, to be discontinued (R); actions that have been implemented in the past and to be restored (R) (NCRR). The summary enumerates the benefits that foresight implementation can bring to the smart city.

“…Numerous closely related definitions of smart cities have been proposed over the past decade, with a plethora of differing terms and explanations suggesting a lack of a unified and accepted definition (Chong et al 2018;Schaffers et al 2012;Zhuhadar et al 2017). Studies tend to reference a number of alternative terms within the literature, such as: digital cities (Sun and Poole, 2010;Keegan et al 2012), intelligent cities (Tan, 1999), wired cities (Targowski, 1990), information city (Stolfi & Sussman, 2001;Sproull & Patterson, 2004;Fietkiewicz et al 2017), ubiquitous cities (Shin, 2009) and sensing city (Mone, 2015).…”

“…Keegan et al (2012) proposed that a city will be an effective functioning entity when it integrates disparate elements such as traffic monitoring, public transportation, utility distribution, health service management, leisure and tourism, entertainment, e-government, emergency response and commerce. Studies define these services as needing to be fully integrated within a holistic system either partly or fully accessible by the general public (Chong et al 2018;Keegan et al 2012). Schuurman et al (2012) focused on technology and citizens in the context of collaborative digital environments and how these factors can facilitate the development of innovative applications with an emphasis on human capital rather than an expectation that digitalization alone can transform cities.…”

“…The engagement of citizens as potential service users is discussed in a number of studies (Chong et al 2018;El-Haddadeh et al 2018;Peng 2015;Peng et al 2015Peng et al , 2017Salim & Haque, 2015;Sauer, 2012;Teli et al 2015). Within smart cities the citizen engagement model moves toward the co-design and co-production of government functions, using user-generated content (Bertot et al 2016;Lim et al 2018).…”

Smart cities employ information and communication technologies to improve: the quality of life for its citizens, the local economy, transport, traffic management, environment, and interaction with government. Due to the relevance of smart cities (also referred using other related terms such as Digital City, Information City, Intelligent City, Knowledge-based City, Ubiquitous City, Wired City) to various stakeholders and the benefits and challenges associated with its implementation, the concept of smart cities has attracted significant attention from researchers within multiple fields, including information systems. This study provides a valuable synthesis of the relevant literature by analysing and discussing the key findings from existing research on issues related to smart cities from an Information Systems perspective. The research analysed and discussed in this study focuses on number of aspects of smart cities: smart mobility, smart living, smart environment, smart citizens, smart government, and smart architecture as well as related technologies and concepts. The discussion also focusses on the alignment of smart cities with the UN sustainable development goals. This comprehensive review offers critical insight to the key underlying research themes within smart cities, highlighting the limitations of current developments and potential future directions.

“…Many authors have attempted to formulate the definition of a "smart city" by binding it with different terms, which is indicative of the lack of a uniform or widely accepted definition (Schaffers et al, 2012;Zhuhadat et al, 2017;Chong et al, 2018). In publications dealing with the subject of a "smart city", there are many alternative terms for this concept, such as: "digital city" (Tan, 1999), "wired city" (Targowski, 1990), "information city" (Fietkiewicz et al, 2017;Sproull & Patterson, 2004;Stolfi & Sussman, 2001), "ubiquitous city" (Shin, 2009), "sensing city" (Mone, 2015).…”

A B S T R A C T Nowadays, the transformations of metropolises into smart cities is a crucial factor in improving the living conditions of the inhabitants. The goal of the smart city concept is modern urban management using technical tools that offer state-of-the-art technologies, considering the applicable ecological standards while saving resources and achieving the expected results. The purpose of this article is to identify the areas of research analysed in the international literature in the field of smart cities. The bibliometric analysis was carried out to achieve the purpose. The analysis covered publications on smart cities published in Scopus and Web of Science databases from January 2009 to May 2019. Based on the bibliometric analysis, a bibliometric map was developed using the mapping technique VOS -the visualisation of similarities. Original clusters were created using the VOSviewer software. The bibliometric map visualises the results of the analysis that targeted the word coexistence. K E Y W O R D S smart city, smart city subareas, bibliometric map
