https://orcid.org/http://orcid.org/0000-0002-8983-8613
The concept of smart cities has been gaining importance in the academic and policy fields as a means to provide innovative solutions to tackle the rapid urbanization, globalization and climate change challenges faced by cities. However, the concept is still contested and is continually evolving with numerous debates on what it entails altogether. Therefore, this chapter aims at providing a comprehensive understanding of the smart city concept by elaborating on its roots and discussing the major themes, dichotomies and gaps in its definitions across contemporary literature. It also identifies and studies the main dimensions of smart cities that may be pertinent in the identification and evaluation of smart cities. The in-depth literature review intends on acting as a reference point for scholars to get a clearer picture of the smart city research landscape and enable policy makers to develop, implement and monitor smart city solutions for a sustainable future.
