“…It is in the interests of loosening the tight grip which the rule of law currently has over the Triple Helix and switching attention towards policy, corporate strategy and leadership that what follows reviews the whole question of governance in the model's dynamics (Deakin, 2010a, Deakin, 2010b. The outcome of this reflection is captured in the following quote from Leydesdorff and Deakin (2011: 61) and in relation to the governance issues surrounding their neo-evolutionary model of smart cities.…”

“…That agenda, which up till now, has been of little interest to either university or industry because the prevailing academic wisdom has considered the cultural and environmental value of this third mission (into networks, attributes and capacities) to be a venture neither fundamental enough, nor sufficiently strategic to warrant particular attention (Deakin, 2010a(Deakin, , 2010b.…”

Reflecting on the governance of smart cities, the state-of-the-art this paper advances offers a critique of recent city ranking and future Internet accounts of their development. Armed with these critical insights, it goes on to explain smart cities in terms of the social networks, cultural attributes and environmental capacities, vis-a-vis, vital ecologies of the intellectual capital, wealth creation and standards of participatory governance regulating their development. The Triple Helix model which the paper advances to explain these performances in turn suggests that cities are smart when the ICTs of future Internet developments successfully embed the networks society needs for them to not only generate intellectual capital, or create wealth, but also cultivate the environmental capacity, ecology and vitality of those spaces which the direct democracy of their participatory governance open up, add value to and construct.

“…Deakin M. proposed the theory and method to evaluate the correlation of wisdom urban. He chose the triple helix theory to construct the dynamic space of a regional innovation system [15][16][17][18]. On that basis, he reflected on the governance of smart cities, and went on to explain smart cities in terms of the social networks, cultural attributes, and environmental capacities [19][20][21].…”

Abstract:With the rapid development of smart cities in the world, research relating to smart city evaluation has become a new research hotspot in academia. However, there are general problems of cognitive deprivation, lack of planning experience, and low level of coordination in smart cities construction. It is necessary for us to develop a set of scientific, reasonable, and effective evaluation index systems and evaluation models to analyze the development degree of urban wisdom. Based on the theory of the urban system, we established a comprehensive evaluation index system for urban intelligent development based on the people-oriented, city-system, and resources-flow (PSF) evaluation model. According to the characteristics of the comprehensive evaluation index system of urban intelligent development, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) combined with the experts' opinions determine the index weight of this system. We adopted the neural network model to construct the corresponding comprehensive evaluation model to characterize the non-linear characteristics of the comprehensive evaluation indexes system, thus to quantitatively quantify the comprehensive evaluation indexes of urban intelligent development. Finally, we used the AHP, AHP-BP (Back Propagation), and AHP-ELM (Extreme Learning Machine) models to evaluate the intelligent development level of 151 cities in China, and compared them from the perspective of model accuracy and time cost. The final simulation results show that the AHP-ELM model is the best evaluation model.

“…A wealth of definitions of a 'Smart City' can be found in the literaturesometimes complementary, sometimes contrasting (Deakin, 2010;Torres et al, 2005). In various cases, it is claimed that cities may be smart in the way they exploit the potential of information and communication technologies (ICTs), e.g., for e-government services (Nijkamp and Cohen Blankshtain, 2013), as such services may become vehicles for innovation in cities.…”

This article summarizes the vast literature on the concept of Smart City. The concept is first framed in the existing urban economics literature and the ongoing urbanization trends. The article, then, reviews the history of the Smart City concept from its inception, as mostly focusing on information and communication technology endowments as means to foster urban performance, toward the more recent approach based on the concentration of human capital in cities, to, finally, the necessary urban conditions leading to the fast adoption and wise exploitation of e-technologies. Next, the article summarizes the various methodologies and procedures followed in the literature to rank cities according to their degree of smartness. This vast literature is classified in terms of the characteristics pinpointed as major drivers of urban smartness in each work. Finally, the article concludes with a critical review of the Smart City policies drawn by various policy institutions, from the supranational (mainly, EU) to the local administrative level.
