Abstract

Smart city is an emerging topic, showing a concurrent development regarding both the theoretical research and the empirical implementation. Meanwhile academic researchers have been studying the theoretical aspects of a smart city, suggesting definition and models for their understanding, largest cities all over the world have been starting to realize smart projects for realizing a smarter living in urban areas. As the smart city movement is spontaneous, each city pursue its own goals prioritizing smart initiatives of different nature: sometimes the use of ICT prevails, some others green energy production is at the core of smart programs; and so on. This chapter studies two smart city best practices in Europe: Amsterdam and Genoa. Amsterdam has been the first city all over the world implementing a smart city strategy addressing not only one dimension of living, but with a comprehensive scope. Genoa won the highest number of European calls funding smart city projects and the Genoa Smart City Association is aiming to compose an integrated smart projects portfolio addressing all the aspects of the metropolitan life. Both these cities are interesting case studies for supporting further implementation in smart cities.
