Abstract Smart city initiatives are designed to develop information technology capacities and establish an agenda for change. It is also very difficult for the municipal authorities to identify, evaluate and implement the proper developments in a world characterised by the multiplicity of available solutions. Consequently, the policy aspect of a smart city is a major challenge in order to create a collaborative approach to innovation ecosystems based on sustainable partnerships among the main stakeholders from business, research, policy and citizen groups and achieve an alignment of local, regional and European policy levels and resources. The objective of this inquiry is to develop an analysis framework to better understand smart city practices in Greece and to identify the barriers where adaptation and improvement may be needed. Furthermore, this study aims at examining the Greek Municipalities in order to identify homogeneous and heterogeneous characteristics in the process of planning and developing a smart city. The study identifies the most important impediments towards smart cities actions development and the correlation between the smart cities population and the number of implemented actions. The results highlight the deviation of implemented and planned smart cities actions based on the proposed taxonomy identifying the most important development areas for Greece.
