Study and analysis of the relationship between smart cities and Industry 4.0: A systematic literature review

Abstract

Smart cities evolved to include citizens as co-creators, while Industry 4.0 envisioned personalized supply chain models arranged according to consumers’ wishes. Both concepts strove to focus on citizens, impacting transport and manufacturing processes, enhancing social development and promoting sustainability. However, it lacks a clear understanding of their influence on each other and related connection points in the literature. This article conducts a rigorous systematic literature review to make an in-depth analysis of the relationship between smart cities and Industry 4.0. Quantitative and qualitative analyses are performed. The connection points found are technology, process, people and planning. Their relationship is almost unanimous. Smart cities are influenced by Industry 4.0. The evidence of smart city influence on Industry 4.0 does not exist separately from that of Industry 4.0 on smart cities. Although several authors smoothly refer to the influence that smart cities may have in the Industry, it lacks a greater understanding. Furthermore, this study develops two lines of discussion based on the findings and advocates the future need to reflect on how the evolution of smart city concept will impact the development of the industry.

Innovative Models of Cooperation between Business Administration Majors in Universities and Enterprises

“…Informal networking between university and business leaders provides a foundation for developing complex programming. Sustained initiatives outlast the tenure of any individual participant when embedded into institutional strategy [18]. Ultimately, shared vision and values regarding the purpose of cooperation underpins resonance and persistence [17].…”

Building Inclusive Smart Cities through Innovation Intermediaries

“…All these aspects make use of innovative technologies that were created for the industry sector and were later applied to cities, enabling both smart factories and smart cities [15]. Such technologies are part of a general trend towards automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies that are conventionally referred to as "Industry 4.0" [16].…”

“…The IoT has enabled objects to be connected to the internet, allowing them to collect and exchange data, as well as be sensed, identified, and controlled remotely. This has led to the emergence of Industry 4.0 and smart cities, as it has enabled firms and cities to turn objects into agents of data collection and monitoring, and in turn, has provided decision-makers with data to support their decisions and take action [15]. Examples of such objects include sensors, actuators, autonomous transport vehicles in factories, mobile phones, smart TVs, control systems in buildings, CCTV, and public transportation [22].…”

Smart City Solutions from a Societal Perspective—A Case Study

“…The notion of a smart city is also evolving, with the following successive smart city generations to be distinguished: Smart Cities 1.0, inspired by the available technologies; Smart Cities 2.0, with the decisive role of public administration; Smart Cities 3.0, based on the inhabitants’ creative involvement; 4.0, linked to the concept of Industry 4.0; and even 5.0, linked to the new symbolic notion of Industry 5.0 [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ]. Currently, smart cities are not limited to information and communication technologies, and the centre of gravity has shifted to “smart people” and the corresponding creativity.…”
