Even though the vast majority of the urban population lives in such cities, the

i c
main focus of urban research tends to be on the ‘global’ metropolises. As a

result, the challenges of medium-sized cities, which can be rather different,

remain unexplored to a certain degree.

Medium-sized cities, which have to cope with competition of the larger

metropolises on corresponding issues, appear to be less well equipped in

terms of critical mass, resources and organizing capacity.

Smart city is understood as a certain ability of a city and not focusing

a l
on single aspects, a further definition requires identifying certain
c
og i
characteristics for the evaluation. It is identified that, although the term

l
“Smart City” is not very widely used yet in spatial planning literature or

n o
urban research, it is still possible to identify various aspects as a basis for

c h
further elaboration. It has been concluded from literature research the term

Te
(Smart city) is not used in a holistic way describing a city with certain

t
attributes, but is used for various aspects which range from Smart City as

ra
a
an IT-district to a Smart City regarding the education (or smartness) of its

u j
inhabitants.

offers a New view on medium-sized cities in Europe and their respective

differences and Comparative (dis -) advantages towards each other and

allows to

Cities leverage ICT not only to fix broken systems, but to enhance a city’s
overall liveability, workability and sustainability

Un
c a l
Liveability Smart cities improve liveability in numerous ways. For one, they

og i
revolutionize people’s relationship with city government.

o l
n
Workability Smart cities accelerate economic development by creating a high-

c h
performance infrastructure that attracts businesses and protects them from

Te
cybercrime.

ra t
a
Sustainability Smart cities reduce resource use through optimization. The gains

u j
from optimization and improved planning mean that cities, their businesses and

G
their residents consume less water, gas and power. Smart cities also reduce
duplication of effort and reduce costs through infrastructure sharing.

In 2012, BIS commissioned BSI to develop a smart cities standards strategy to

identify where standards are needed to accelerate the rollout of smart cities
and support UK providers of smart city solutions. The strategy development
involved research into current thinking on smart cities; a gap analysis to identify
where standards are needed stakeholder consultation events; and a proposed
work programme for the delivery stage. @2017

“how-to” advice, reflecting current good practice as identified by a broad

facilitating UK smart cities. Its main objectives are mentioned below:

spaces and systems
