“…The goal of a smart city is to "create sustainable value for citizens, employees, shareholders and other stakeholders" (Lee et al 2014, p. 83), and thereby drive cities' overall growth and development. The success of a smart city depends on the collective integration of technological, governmental, institutional, and transitional components (King and Cotterill 2007;Eremia et al 2017). To integrate these different components successfully, governance models should be structured and able to design and implement participatory decision-making processes for diverse types of actors in the city (Novotny et al, 2014;Eremia et al 2017).…”

Smart cities use integrated information and communication technology in order to help their citizens and organizations deal with the challenges of urbanization, safety, and sustainability. Smart cities need complex forms of governance involving a great variety of actors. The aim of this study is to illustrate how elements of governance structures in smart city ecosystems evolve over time, and to understand in which way these elements enable or inhibit the success of such ecosystems in different phases of evolution. We draw on the ecosystem literature and the smart city literature to identify governance aspects relevant to projects with multiple stakeholders. We illustrate our framework with extensive empirical evidence from an in-depth single case study of a smart city initiative in The Netherlands. We find that the use of specific governance elements varies across the phases of evolution of the smart city ecosystem. In the initiation phase, governance structures aimed at strengthening the internal relations are key. In this phase, elements such as trust, commitment, and common goals are important as they help to create a common ground. In the growth phase, the ecosystem focuses on establishing external relations with other parties, such as competitors and suppliers. In this phase, governance elements such a co-creation strategy and a dedicated organization for promotion gain importance, as these elements facilitate communication with external parties.

“…T HE Smart Grid (SG) is a two-way cyber-physical system utilizing information to provide safe, secure, reliable, resilient, efficient, and sustainable electricity to end-users [280], [288]. The SG plays nowadays a major role in the integration of the Smart Cities concept by putting into effect the Smart Energy conceptual element: smart electrical energy systems that interconnect utilities and end-users by means of a Smart Infrastructure [276], [287], [292]. The SG is a key enabler, enhancing the decision making process, providing self-healing and automation of the energy grid, and integration of renewable energy sources [292].…”

Article under review. This work has been submitted to the IEEE for possible publication. Copyright may be transferred without notice, after which this version may no longer be accessible.The article is structured as follows. In section II, we provide an overview of Smart Grids concepts: mainly architecture and components of the SG infrastructure. In section III, we define the goals, needs, process and research questions for the Systematic Mapping Study on data analysis in the SG context. In section IV, we present the results from the overall SMS process, divided into answers to the main research questions set. In Section V, we discuss the main threats to validity of the current study. Section VI provides the final conclusions.

“…As the concept of a smart city gains traction globally, it has been observed that this concept has predominantly been driven by the private sector, and hence is concentrated in the real estate arena [1][2][3][4][5]. In particular, as Barkham, Bokhari, and Saiz [2] explain, this concept has increased the potential for city managers to counter challenges, such as housing affordability, increased traffic, biodiversity loss, and security issues, amongst others, that are prompted by the increasing urban population, and parallel rapid urbanisation.…”

Mauritius, a small island developing state (SIDS), has an approved government-issued smart city framework geared at facilitating the development of smart cities through an application of Internet of things. In an attempt to move away from privately-operated urban developments in the form of newly built smart cities, an alternate framework has been proposed by Allam and Newman to redefine this timely concept for existing cities with the main dimensions being metabolism, culture, and governance. This new framework focuses on liveability and sustainability that builds on the cultural and historical dimensions of existing cities. This study adds to the redefined smart city paradigm by proposing a new pillar in the form of smart tourism for the city of Port Louis, Mauritius. This paper reviews models of smart tourism and explores how this can be grafted to the Allam and Newman’s smart city model. The findings of this study seek to inform policy makers on alternate and the more relevant economic potential of smart tourism for the city of Port Louis.
