Abstract In this paper, we examine the understudied issue of the pathways to smart cities. While the extant literature on smart cities offers several insights intowhat smart cities are, with a few notable exceptions, it has less to say abouthow they come to be.With this latter question in mind, we identify three pathways to smart cities: (1) a greenfield development pathway, (2) a neighborhood development pathway, and (3) a platform-oriented platform. Drawing on nine different case studies, we offer some insights into the way in which each of these pathways is, more or less, able to realize the desired smart-city objectives. While exploratory in nature, the study offers unique insights into the pathways to smart cities as well as areas for future research.
