Abstract

Smart cities involve complex sociotechnical systems which are built on the flows of an increasing amount of data coming from multiple sensors, thanks to the technology of the Internet of Things. In this context, smart cities aim to provide sustainable urban development worldwide. This paper presents the results of world practice benchmarking for 20 smart cities and it seeks to determine the most successful cases that could be of interest for better urban development. B. Cohen’s Smart City Wheel was used as the system of indicators, and expert assessment, document analysis, and statistical methods were applied to the research. Results indicate that the cases of Songdo, Singapore, Melbourne, Bodo, Delft and Toronto got the highest marks. Also, the level of resource management, e-government infrastructure, education and safety indicators showed a positive impact on the other smart city components.

5. Conclusions and discussion

The conducted benchmarking stressed the case of Songdo/Incheon as most the “fully equipped” smart city. Singapore, Melbourne, Bodo, Delft and Toronto are also not far behind the leader. According to the official programs and plans, the following key areas of development in the cases were identified: ecology transport, comfort of life. However, the studied Smart Cities got quite high ranks in the following areas: Smart Living, Smart People, Smart Government.

To determine the most critical factors among the assessed indicators, we applied correlation analysis and revealed the following trends. The high level of Smart Environment resource management indicator statistically connects with a high level of Smart Economy opportunity (0,7 coeff.), Smart Living Safety (0,7), Clean and non-motorized mobility (0,6), Smart Building (0,6), and Open Government (0,5). At the same time, the higher the level of Resource management indicator in the measured cases, the lower was the level of Smart Economy Local and Global interconnectedness (-0,5) and Smart Economy Productivity level (-0,3). In turn, the Smart Economy Productivity level influences positively on Smart Living Culture and Happiness indicator (0,5) and Smart People Creativity (0,45).
