Abstract	Recent debates on how contemporary cities can face global challenges highlight the conceptual obscurity of smart city strategies. This is particularly true in the context of the imperatives outlined in the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) including the objective to improve citizens’ well-being. In fact, the achievement of well-being is increasingly part of smart city projects worldwide in a fragmented way, and this chapter aims at clarifying it by examining the impact of such an approach to spatial planning. Through research in three different European cities (Barcelona, Copenhagen, and Vienna), the authors point out the functions and benefits of incorporating urban technologies into public space, the orientation that spatial planning is now taking, and how participatory strategies enhance city well-being. The chapter suggests that in the intersection of smart and sustainable city models emerge the indicators for successful urban strategies, and reveals a number of valuable observations that promote the achievement of city well-being. © 2021 Elsevier Inc.
