Abstract The concept of smart cities is traditionally associated with sustainable development and living conditions in modernizing cities: their information and communications technology readiness, public transportation accessibility and standards, connections with other cities and states, the access to health care, high-quality education, and leisure. This chapter will focus on a particular feature of a smart city: its talented inhabitants. The authors will analyze characteristics and activities of smart cities in the sphere of pulling global talent. No city can attract highly skilled, hard-working specialists without the implementation of smart solutions so that the quality and conditions of living are at least satisfactory and present competitive advantages. Moreover, no city can become smart without learning and following good practices developed by skilled, hard-working specialists in various parts of the world. This chapter addresses the question how cities can be smart in creating, attracting, and nurturing global talent, while pursuing the strategic objective of attaining ever higher levels of development. © 2019 Elsevier Inc.
