title = "Smart cities: A response to wicked problems",
abstract = "In this paper we investigate the underlying theoretical and practical dimensions of the smart city concept. Exploring the smart city concept is necessary for understanding its meaning and usefulness. We begin by framing the problems faced in cities, i.e. urban issues as wicked problems: complex and intractable. Then, a review of the meaning of a smart city is carried out in order to reach a holistic working definition of the concept. We also provide a description of how stakeholders are organized in providing smart-city-based solutions to urban problems in cities. A smart city case study situated in Glasgow, Scotland is developed. By doing so, we provide a new and practical perspective to comprehend the meaning and the use of the smart city concept in addressing urban problems by synthesizing important success factors.",
