Abstract Projects for the implementation of smart services and solutions, their operation are presented as a topic of large cities. These are areas where is a high concentration of the population, requirements for a wide range of services, their regular updating, and modernization. From an economic point of view, it is logical that such regions are sought after by technology companies for the implementation of innovative projects where the rate of return on investment is very high. As we do not think that the topic of smart city solutions should be exclusively the priority of large cities, for this reason, we decided to analyze the needs of small cities in terms of implementing smart solutions, identify problems as well as requirements to speed up this process. A suitable region for such an analysis is the Slovak Republic, as the distribution of cities and populations does not reflect the smart city case. We selected all 2,927 municipalities and towns in Slovakia with a total population of 5,450,420 for the research. The questionnaire was sent to representatives of towns and municipalities in the Slovak Republic, who provided their views on the issue. The opinions obtained cover more than 1,700,000 inhabitants. The results of the research show an interesting and unequivocal finding, smart also wants to be small towns and rural areas. In the research, we identified several, not simple problems that need to be solved for the successful implementation of these goals. One of the important messages of this analysis is the fact that even small towns and rural settlements want to be smart and therefore it is necessary to create these conditions for these inhabitants. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
