Smart Cities and Citizen Orientation: The Growing Importance of “Smart People” in Developing Modern Cities
The smart people dimension of smart cities becomes more important in recent years and is broadly discussed in the literature. The main goal of this paper is to verify if citizen orientation can be proven not only by research papers, but also actual strategic documents enacted by city officials. For this purpose we discuss citizen orientation of smart city strategies from 30 smart cities from IESE Cities in Motion Index, following two main hypothesis: H1: Smart cities do have strategic documents laying their path to “smartness”, H2: Smart city strategies contain goals proving their citizen orientation. Most of the cities from the sample include “smart” concept in their strategic planning, either as part of general strategy (e.g. New York) or dedicated smart city strategy (e.g. London). Others define only a set of undertaken actions, without setting measurable goals. Many of the cities from the sample tend to include more human- oriented goals, however technology-oriented approach still seems to be dominant.
