Abstract Smart cities have emerged radically since their initial appearance in literature in 1997 and they have attracted a significant scientific and industrial attention since then. This event was not accidental, since urbanization had started becoming a reality and international reports show a significant rise of cities by 2050, a shift that changes dramatically the role of city and of local government. In this regard, this book has multiple objectives: first, to clarify the smart city context and the role of government in smart city. Second, to become a guide for governments, researchers and practitioners to conceptualize and understand what the smart city is. Third, to provide the readers with tools that can help them conceptualize, measure the potential, manage the development and evaluate the outcome of a smart city project. Fourth, to serve as a didactic material for students that enter the smart city domain and in this respect, each chapter has specific learning outcomes and a pool of questions to support learning. As such, several outcomes from ongoing studies, an extensive scientific material, inputs from experts, personal experiences and city examples are utilized to serve the above quadruple mission. © Springer International Publishing AG 2017.
