“…Moreover, analytics of the weather data can help inform the people in advance about the possible hazardous conditions (e.g., flood information, extremely hot weather, drought, and so on) (Fan & Bifet, 2013). Governments have begun to embrace smart city ideas to improve the living standard of their citizens and to implement big data applications (Jimenez et al, 2014). Big data for the smart city can transform every sector of a nation's economy (Batty, 2013).…”

The expansion of big data and the evolution of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies have played an important role in the feasibility of smart city initiatives. Big data offer the potential for cities to obtain valuable insights from a large amount of data collected through various sources, and the IoT allows the integration of sensors, radiofrequency identification, and Bluetooth in the real-world environment using highly networked services. The combination of the IoT and big data is an unexplored research area that has brought new and interesting challenges for achieving the goal of future smart cities. These new challenges focus primarily on problems related to business and technology that enable cities to actualize the vision, principles, and requirements of the applications of smart cities by realizing the main smart environment characteristics. In this paper, we describe the existing communication technologies and smart-based applications used within the context of smart cities. The visions of big data analytics to support smart cities are discussed by focusing on how big data can fundamentally change urban populations at different levels. Moreover, a future business model that can manage big data for smart cities is proposed, and the business and technological research challenges are identified. This study can serve as a benchmark for researchers and industries for the future progress and development of smart cities in the context of big data.

“…In addition, many governments have recently set ambitious targets to transition their cities to being sustainable smart using a variety of initiatives and programs, or have adopted the concept of smart city and implemented big data applications to reach the required level of sustainability and to improve the living standards. Accordingly, it has become of crucial importance to develop and utilise new methods for measuring the performance of sustainable smartness (e.g., [36,61,139]). This is due to the growing realisation of the untapped potential of the emerging smart technologies, especially big data analytics and its application, for addressing the challenges of sustainability and containing the effects of urbanisation.…”

There has recently been a conscious push for cities across the globe to be smart and even smarter and thus more sustainable by developing and implementing big data technologies and their applications across various urban domains in the hopes of reaching the required level of sustainability and improving the living standard of citizens. Having gained momentum and traction as a promising response to the needed transition towards sustainability and to the challenges of urbanisation, smart and smarter cities as approaches to data-driven urbanism are increasingly adopting the advanced forms of ICT to improve their performance in line with the goals of sustainable development and the requirements of urban growth. One of such forms that has tremendous potential to enhance urban operations, functions, services, designs, strategies, and policies in this direction is big data analytics and its application. This is due to the kind of well-informed decision-making and enhanced insights enabled by big data computing in the form of applied intelligence. However, topical studies on big data technologies and their applications in the context of smart and smarter cities tend to deal largely with economic growth and the quality of life in terms of service efficiency and betterment while overlooking and barely exploring the untapped potential of such applications for advancing sustainability. In fact, smart and smarter cities raise several issues and involve significant challenges when it comes to their development and implementation in the context of sustainability. With that in regard, this paper provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art review and synthesis of the field of smart and smarter cities in relation to sustainability and related big data analytics and its application in terms of the underlying foundations and assumptions, research issues and debates, opportunities and benefits, technological developments, emerging trends, future practices, and challenges and open issues. This study shows that smart and smarter cities are associated with misunderstanding and deficiencies as regards their incorporation of, and contribution to, sustainability. Nevertheless, as also revealed by this study, tremendous opportunities are available for utilising big data analytics and its application in smart cities of the future to improve their contribution to the goals of sustainable development by optimising and enhancing urban operations, functions, services, designs, strategies, and policies, as well as by finding answers to challenging analytical questions and thereby advancing knowledge forms. However, just as there are immense opportunities ahead to embrace and exploit, there are enormous challenges and open issues ahead to address and overcome in order to achieve a Open Access © The Author(s) 2019.

“…Additionally, the results obtained in the course of the analysis seem to confirm the outcomes of the studies conducted as part of the ASCIMER project and regarding the smart city concept in the cities of the Mediterranean region. The central role of local authorities in the development of the smart city idea has been underlined by other authors (Bolívar, 2016;Jiménez, Solanas, & Falcone, 2014;Simonofski, Vallé, Serral, & Wautelet, 2019). It should be emphasised that intelligent space is created mostly for the city dwellers.…”

Nowadays, cities are approached as complex systems comprising multiple interactions and interrelations. At present, urbanisation is one of the principal socio-economic global processes. Population concentration and myriad different relations between entities lead to highly complicated lives within the urban space. Therefore, the characteristics features of modern cities refer not only to their physical structures, but also to the network of cyber-relations optimising processes occurring within agglomerations. The aims of public governance in urban space relating to the development of intelligent, sharp solutions regarding life quality improvement are undeniably associated with the application of modern technologies. However, one must also take into consideration the role and impact of various stakeholders affecting the process of smart city development. According to the results, stakeholders' involvement is crucial for good management. It is believed that the greatest role in the implementation of intelligent solutions is played by local self-governments. Their leading function is highlighted at the following stages: project conceptualization, implementation and management. Political entities of a more extensive coverage as well as local communities, economic entities and research institutions also play essential role at the stage of concept development. This study focuses on the importance of individual interest groups in the process of shaping intelligent solutions in the urban space. The study is divided into the following sections: Introduction, Literature Review, Methodology, Research Results, and Conclusions.
