Abstract The sustainable development challenges for small archipelagic cities are exponentially bigger when compared to the large metropolises on the continent. One of the biggest problems of these small cities face is related to disorderly urban expansion. From night to day, new peripheral neighbourhoods are born, bringing with these all social and urban problems of an unplanned expansion. Hence, it is essential that these cities leverage their progress on sustainable pillars, creating smart solutions tailored to their challenges. In this sense, this article analyses the strategies and solutions implemented in the city of Praia, Cape Verde, with the purpose of classifying it in the context of Smart City. Considering international standards and the specific needs of the city, the impact of digital transformation on the smartization of the city was analysed, as well as the contribution of peripheral neighbourhoods in this process. This study concludes that, in addition to technological solutions, other factors that ensure the sustainable and inclusive growth of peripheral communities must be prioritized for an effective smartization of city. In the specific case of the Safende neighbourhood, the transformation initiated with a view to its smartization, leveraged on fundamental pillars of a Smart City Project. The neighborhood has functioned as a model Living Lab that can be replicated in other similar peripheral neighbourhoods in the city of Praia. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
