“…Research focusing on the investment in IoT, ICTs and cybersecurity policies analyzes the implementation IoT, ICTs and cybersecurity in the city context as well as the consequent advantages (de Falco et al ., 2019; Nesti and Graziano, 2020) and potential problems (Almirall et al , 2016; Taylor Buck and While, 2017) in the implementation of smart city. While IoT and cybersecurity are ubiquitous in society (Li and Liao, 2018; Chatfield and Reddick, 2019) and have an impact on different areas such as governance (Sancino and Hudson, 2020), marketing and communication (Lee and Lee, 2014; Burnes and Towers, 2016), ICTs provide the basis of different strategies of many cities that have joined the smart city trend, as the urbanization process accelerates worldwide to develop new business models for transportation and mobility and improve services (Berrone et al ., 2016). They are used to develop smart city services for actual and potential new citizens and firms, using international marketing and sales strategies focused on the customer view (Lee and Lee, 2014).…”

PurposeSmart cities and their internationalization process and efforts in order to gain the competitive advantage in the international arena have received a great deal of attention by marketing scholars and practitioners alike. Yet, the growing number of studies focused on this topic has led to considerable fragmentation and theoretical confusion.Design/methodology/approachTo move the domain forward, this study applies the systematic review methodology and reviews 41 peer-reviewed articles published in highly esteemed publication outlets.FindingsBuilding on the antecedents–phenomenon–consequences framework, the authors discuss the antecedents and consequences of the various innovative marketing strategies that smart cities adopt for their internationalization and development of an international competitive advantage. In the process of doing so, the authors synthesize the findings of the studies as well as literature gaps that provide fruitful avenues for future research.Originality/valueThis article offers a systematic review of extant marketing research on smart cities and their efforts to internationalize. In particular, this study advances the conceptual development of smart city internationalization and innovation by a marketing lens, provides an integrative, international-oriented framework that maps the extant literature across disciplines and countries, expands the boundaries of this research domain into new research paths and offers implications for policy and practice.

“…Based on the five definitions of the smart city concept mentioned in session 1, and taking into account the conceptual framework of Figure 1, future work could expand the discussions in the proposed study areas. For example, one of the definitions that needs to be expanded is the u-City concept, to know the impact generated by the advances of the AI application areas in social development, from a perspective framed in human and social capital [14][15][16].…”

This literature review analyzes and classifies methodological contributions that answer the different challenges faced by smart cities. This study identifies city services that require the use of artificial intelligence (AI); which they refer to as AI application areas. These areas are classified and evaluated, taking into account the five proposed domains (government, environment, urban settlements, social assistance, and economy). In this review, 168 relevant studies were identified that make methodological contributions to the development of smart cities and 66 AI application areas, along with the main challenges associated with their implementation. The review methodology was content analysis of scientific literature published between 2013 and 2020. The basic terminology of this study corresponds to AI, the internet of things, and smart cities. In total, 196 references were used. Finally, the methodologies that propose optimization frameworks and analytical frameworks, the type of conceptual research, the literature published in 2018, the urban settlement macro-categories, and the group city monitoring–smart electric grid, make the greater contributions.

“…The extensive review of the literature on smart cities conducted by Meijer and Bolivar (2016) reveal three common foci that are dominant in extant smart city research, namely, technological focus, human resource focus and governance focus. An international comparative study found that from a leadership perspective, smart cities can be seen as digital government, a digital driver for economic growth, an open platform for digital socio-political innovation, and an open platform for the digital economy (Sancino and Hudson, 2020). For the purpose of this study, we take an integrative approach to the concept of smart cities and view and discuss it from economic, political, social and cultural perspectives.…”

Coworking practices have proliferated around the world being embraced not only by remote workers, start-up employees and freelancers but also by larger organizations. Coworking spaces in public libraries, business districts and other urban spaces, herald profound changes for the way workspaces are used in cities. The study takes an integrative approach to investigate the economic and socio-cultural implications of coworking trend for smart cities, their ecosystems and the use of urban public spaces. The study examines these issues by studying motivations and challenges of providers and users of coworking spaces. Thirty coworking spaces in urban areas across Australia were studied and thirty-four semi-structured interviews were conducted with both providers and users of the coworking spaces. The findings suggest that coworking spaces play an important role in building communities and developing social and cultural ties. From urban space and environmental perspectives, coworking spaces are likely to contribute to urban mobility and sustainability. From an urban economic perspective, coworking spaces provide a collaborative environment and often a breeding ground for entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is one of the most salient themes in the coworking spaces as found in this study. These findings will inform urban policy makers and help them better understand and tap into the source of civic entrepreneurship derived from coworking spaces.
