Smart Cities as a university common talk: The case of UNIZA

Depicting the smarter cities of the future: A systematic literature review & field study

“…Regarding the first perspective, it is key for promoters to have a clear strategy [12,25,38,50,51,58,65]. Having a clear strategy serves to receive in-depth insights into stakeholders needs [12,51,65] and values [3]. Furthermore, strategies serve to define what the right Top-down or Bottomup development topology is [3,7,8,13,25,58,69] for successfully governing initiatives.…”

These strategies help to focus on the citizen's needs [3], since local context specificity implies that one size fits all solutions do not hold for Smart Cities. Furthermore, strategies serve to maintain the alignment of stakeholder interests and visions [25,65].…”

“…Furthermore, strategies serve to maintain the alignment of stakeholder interests and visions [25,65]. The challenge is to create a holistic perspective, which addresses local problems instead of global ones [3,28].
