Abstract A smart city is a way of organizing and facilitating secure, sustainable, and flourishing life for large numbers of people. Ideally, smart cities will enable a blissful life for all, in complete alignment with all the laws of nature. A city can make itself smarter by making its key infrastructure components - such as health, education, transportation, utilities, and other essential services - more efficient and responsive through integrated design and electronic governance (e-governance) using information and communications technologies (ICT). It can also become smarter by offering environments to flourish in and thus attract more smart people. Smart engaged citizens would actively monitor that the technology works for them, and not the other way around, as they seek a free and flourishing life. This chapter offers a smart services framework and discusses about the ten types of smart services. It will then demonstrate examples of successful smart city transitions, in particular Barcelona and Amsterdam, along with the solutions they used to become smarter. We will finally include specific examples of the use of big data to analyze the receptivity of bike rental services in Chicago. We will also examine why the use of big data can invoke the specter of Big Brother, and thus there is a need for sensitivity to human needs and privacy. Finally, we will examine a few implications of big data for smart cities and citizens. © Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature 2018. All rights reserved.
