4. Umeå, Sweden; Becoming a Smart City : How can a city succesfully achieve transforming into a smart city?
University essay from Jönköping University/IHH, FöretagsekonomiAbstract : While several authors have focused on the different components of smart city projects and practicalities for their development in large urban areas, despite the absence of a consensual definition of what a smart city is, limited attention has been given to the transformation process achieved by multi-actor relations derived from a sustained network of social innovation and collaboration in smaller cities.
