Abstract This chapter is about smart city strategies in Dubai, which emphasizes social welfare and happiness as a major outcome. Through a desktop research method, the chapter adopts three stages of formalization, change process, and social outcomes of social innovation to examine Smart Dubai's strategic development reports and literature to understand its productivity, livability, and sustainability implications. The chapter also highlights the role of key actors toward technological developments such as the adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and blockchain. It also highlights the key partners as drivers of the smart city in Dubai. The findings suggest the role of government as a key actor, as well as high-tech industries, businesses, scientists, and other public or private sectors, in moving toward the smart city and improved social welfare of Dubai. The first phase of Smart Dubai's 5-year plan (2017–21) depicts a cultural change in the cross-governmental approach to openness and transparency; however, it is too soon to see the social outcomes. © 2021 Elsevier Inc.
