“…Some cities provide a city-wide open WLAN, and others even provide an Internet of Things (IoT) network; for example, Amsterdam and Zurich have open LoRaWAN networks [6] set up by technology enthusiasts. A public cloud infrastructure in the form of a common platform to manage the smart city process, to give access to data ranging from statistical data to real-time sensor readings to interested parties, and to run analytical functions is not available yet in most places, but R&D developments are moving in that direction [12,21].…”

Many cities today claim to be or to become a "smart city". The approaches and public policy foci taken by cities differ depending on the particular context of each city, e.g., size, technology strategy, political system, current challenges and history. This paper is proposing a Smart City Strategy Framework in the form of a morphological box, describing elements relevant for a smart city strategy and their possible manifestations. The framework is based on a literature analysis and the contained elements are grouped into four dimensions: city context, governance, implementation, and infrastructure. The framework can be used to compare different cities in their approach towards becoming a smart city, and we claim that it also helps city planners to develop a strategy, guiding the evolutionary and continuous processes in their smart city. To validate the applicability of the framework, we used it in the drafting and structuring of a questionnaire to city representatives that served as preparation for an international stakeholder workshop on smart cities strategies in order to find out what strategies cities are following and what their current status is. The results of the questionnaire and the workshop hinted at common patterns for smart city strategies, and shows that maturity levels as well as cultural differences need to be taken more into account in future versions of the framework CCS CONCEPTS • Social and professional topics → Government technology policy; • Applied computing → E-government;

Efficient city logistics is essential to build smart sustainable cities where inhabitants’ well-being is a priority. Meanwhile, despite the great importance of city logistics processes, their improvement is problematic for many cities. Although solutions from the field of emerging technologies are more and more often used, the question is whether implementing technological tools and filling cities with sensors is a sufficient solution that can solve the problems of intensely growing urban freight transport. The aim of the paper is to examine the role of knowledge management in city logistics and identify barriers to the implementation of knowledge-based city logistics. A key element of the research procedure was an expert survey, to which 31 international experts specialising in city logistics issues were invited, characterised by extensive experience working on research projects in the area of interest. Four knowledge management processes have been transferred to the city logistics area. The results of the study show that the difficulties are observed mainly in the processes of data gathering and knowledge acquisition. The main reason for difficulties in that area is the reluctance of city users, retailers, transport and logistics operators to share information. Identifying these processes as the most problematic is a valuable hint for logistics managers, municipalities and academics. To improve knowledge-based city logistics, it is therefore necessary to focus on these processes and look for the best solutions and new forms of organisational and business support. The solution to the problems identified in the study is the proposal to create a city logistics collaborative knowledge base which is a combination of an IT tool ‐ the CL knowledge management platform, and the Freight Quality Partnership.
