Abstract

The "innovation" dimension of French big cities is now largely put forward, but what is it really about the constitution of their discourses on their websites? How can this innovation discourse affect their city brand identity? To explore this phenomenon, the studied corpus will cover all the words of the websites of the 18 French cities of more than 150 000 inhabitants. A comparison by the smart data methods will be carried out between the cities which are classified like "smart city" (according to the classification of Vienna) and those which do not appear there. The results show that cities have an interest in communicating concrete innovation and close to citizens to develop their image of smart city. On the other hand, communicating about a conceptual and future innovation does not make it possible to be "smart".
