Abstract	The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic worldwide has brought huge challenges to urban governance. Whether the smart city projects play a significant role in the COVID-19 prevention and control process is a question worthy of attention. Based on the data of COVID-19 confirmed cases and the smart cities projects investment in China cities, our empirical results show that smart city projects have significantly reduced the number of COVID-19 confirmed cases. Specifically, for every 1 million yuan increase in smart city investment per 10,000 people, the number of COVID-19 confirmed cases per 10,000 people would decrease by 0.342. The heterogeneity analysis results show that the effect of the smart city projects on COVID-19 in the spread phase inside a city is stronger than that in the input phase. In addition, the effect differs for cities with different population sizes. This study provides quantitative evidence of the impact of smart city projects on COVID-19 prevention and control.
