“…An important conclusion from the analysis is also the confirmation of the existence of a positive impact of cities on the creation of start-ups [80][81][82]84]. This means that the models of economic helices, in which one of the key relations is the city-business interaction, function in practice [7,95] and in the reality of developing economies, of which Poland is part.…”

“…This is associated both with access to technical and social infrastructure, and proximity to potential markets. Thus, the city is an environment conducive to the development of entrepreneurship [77][78][79][80][81]. Nevertheless, the mere existence of a city does not guarantee the emergence of start-ups.…”

The development of start-ups is a driving force of the local and regional economy. Therefore, it should be in the interest of municipal authorities to take actions for their organizational and resource support. In the conditions of limited public resources, however, it is a difficult and multifaceted task. Therefore, in this article, the authors attempt to determine the influence of local conditions on the establishment of start-ups. As a natural environment for the development of this type of entrepreneurship, cities were considered in which accessibility to infrastructure and human resources is high, and thus, by definition, conducive to creativity and innovation. Such a formulations of the objective and scope of the research allowed the existing theoretical and research gaps to be filled, relating to the identification and establishment of a hierarchy of local determinants of creating start-ups in the urban environment. The research in question was carried out on a representative sample of 287 Polish cities using questionnaire techniques and structural modelling. The results confirm the dominant influence of human and financial capital on the establishment of start-ups. The research also shows a slightly less significant influence of business incubators and technology parks on the creation of start-ups, which implies the need to improve the performance of these entities. The results also point to the positive role of direct city involvement in the development of this form of entrepreneurship.

The enhancing globalization raises new challenges for the cities, like the increasing number of urban population, the rising environmental problems, or the overcrowding of some cities. Nowadays with the widespread of intelligent technologies, more and more cities are creating strategies for making themselves more innovative, and smart. That is why the inequalities among different cities are also rising, as some of them cannot adapt these challenges and turns to a relatively peripheral situation. In their case social innovation can be an adequate solution for solving the problems in a bottom-up way, and foster their development. The aim of this research is to analyse the connection of smart cities with the idea of social innovation, as they both have some similar characteristics.

The notion of smart cities has remained under evolution as its global implementations are challenged by numerous technological, economic, and governmental obstacles. Moreover, the synergy of the Internet of Things (IoT) and big data technologies could result in promising horizons in terms of smart city development which has not been explored yet. Thus, the current research aims to address the essence of smart cities. To this end, first, the concept of smart cities is briefly overviewed; then, their properties and specifications as well as generic architecture, compositions, and real-world implementations are addressed. Furthermore, possible challenges and opportunities in the field of smart cities are described. Numerous issues and challenges such as analytics and using big data in smart cities introduced in this study offers an enhancement in developing applications of the above-mentioned technologies. Hence, this study paves the way for future research on the issues and challenges of big data applications in smart cities.INDEX TERMS Big data, Internet of Things (IoT), smart city.
