Abstract	All European municipalities are by now engaging into major or minor efforts to transform into smart cities because smart means more opportunities for their citizens, businesses, and public-private collaboration. Becoming or being smart is intrinsically linked with skills necessary for appropriate developments and operations of digital infrastructure, platforms, and services. There is a virtuous circle of agglomeration benefits attracting skills, which in turn lead to more agglomeration economies. This explains the dynamics of model digital cities but also why many municipalities are left behind. This chapter analyses the meaning and characteristics of smart cities. Their history, the concept, as well as the six axes of smart cities (smart economy, smart mobility, smart environment, smart people, smart living, and smart governance) serve as a basis to appreciate the skills needed for the transition. The labour market for smart cities is highly demanding in terms of the type of skills needed, which go well beyond ICT to include management and modern soft skills. We discuss them for the actors who will develop/use these skills and indicate ways how such skills can be obtained. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
