“…One of the distinctive characteristics of smart cities is the central role of technology as a means for accumulating, organising and making vast amounts of information accessible to an increasing number of people (Angelidou, 2016). This results to a technologically-enabled ecosystem which yields improvements on the city's functions, enhancing environmental sustainability and rendering the city 'smart' (Allwinkle and Cruickshank, 2011;Angelidou, 2015;Caragliu et al, 2009;Tranos and Gertner, 2012).…”

ABSTRACT:This paper investigates how the historical and cultural heritage of cities is and can be underpinned by means of smart city tools, solutions and applications. Smart cities stand for a conceptual technology-and-innovation driven urban development model. By becoming 'smart', cities seek to achieve prosperity, effectiveness and competitiveness on multiple socio-economic levels. Although cultural heritage is one of the many issues addressed by existing smart city strategies, and despite the documented bilateral benefits, our research about the positioning of urban cultural heritage within three smart city strategies (Barcelona, Amsterdam, and London) reveals fragmented approaches. Our findings suggest that the objective of cultural heritage promotion is not substantially addressed in the investigated smart city strategies. Nevertheless, we observe that cultural heritage management can be incorporated in several different strategic areas of the smart city, reflecting different lines of thinking and serving an array of goals, depending on the case. We conclude that although potential applications and approaches abound, cultural heritage currently stands for a mostly unexploited asset, presenting multiple integration opportunities within smart city contexts. We prompt for further research into bridging the two disciplines and exploiting a variety of use cases with the purpose of enriching the current knowledge base at the intersection of cultural heritage and smart cities.

“…Although there are scholars from different fields and different countries tried to give a clear concept of smart city, but the smart city is still a lack of international perspective, the smart city often with the concept of wireless city, digital city, creative city, knowledge city exchange [5]. Some scholars believe that "smart city = Digital City", some scholars believe that the "smart city innovation = Digital City", even some scholars believe that "wisdom city = creative city".…”

Abstract. Along with the development of city, problems and challenges of city environment, city resources and city management and other aspects are increasingly prominent and severe. Low carbon transformation of wisdom city has become a strategic mode of city development in china. In some places there are still the concepts of speculation and blindly push phenomenon in management and economy are faced with uncertainty and risk. At present our country city in the running process has exist "system failure" phenomenon. The reason is that the interactive relationship between the complexity of the operational mechanism of urban system, internal evolution and functioning mechanism as well as the groups lack of scientific analysis and certification. Therefore, it is particularly important on a thorough study of city system complexity, impact factor and interaction and symbiosis mechanism, constructing a theoretical framework. The Origin of the Smart CityDenis Meadows submitted "the limits to growth" green research report, in the whole world caused an uproar [1]. The practice of foreign green, low carbon transition in the 90s of the last century had become a trend. The United States, Japan, Germany, the most representative, made the development of recycling economy, the implementation of two track recovery system and legislation in the form of propulsion, the establishment of recycling based society, the success of the green, low carbon transition. In 2003, the British government released a report entitled "our energy future: creating a low carbon economy" white paper which first proposed the development of low-carbon economy [2].Low carbon city is associated concepts, specifically refers to under the premise of not affecting the economic and social development, through technology innovation, system innovation, as far as possible to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, thereby mitigating global climate change, achieving economic and social sustainable development of the city. At present, the research scholars mainly have focused on the readjustment of the industrial structure, energy structure and city planning as well as the application of new materials. The British government in the climate change economics: the Stern Report "pointed out that with the current global annual GDP, 1% of the emission reduction cost investment can avoid future annual 5%-20% gross domestic product (GDP) loss, appealed to the world as soon as possible to a low carbon economy transition [3]. At present, urban development is facing problems of environmental pollution, shortage of resources and economic growth slow. The wisdom urban development is to the city's economic transformation, people's way of living change, environmental protection and social management has important strategic significance. About the origin of the wisdom of the city, the domestic and foreign scholars hold different views. In 2008, IBM first proposed the "wisdom of the earth" concept. The wisdom of the city is the main spatial nodes of the wisdom of the earth, it is the use...

“…Various different definitions of, and perspectives on, smart cities can be found in the relevant literature. For example, a technological innovation perspective (Komninos, 2006); an economic perspective (Nijkamp and Kourtit, 2011); a monitoring perspective based on sensors (Giffinger et al, 2007); and a networked perspective (Nijkamp, 2008;Tranos and Gertner, 2012).…”
