Smart city applications manage urban flows and allow for real-time responses. [15] A smart city may be more prepared to respond to challenges than one with a conventional "transactional" relationship with its citizens. [16] [17] Yet, the term is open to many interpretations. [18] Many cities have already adopted some sort of smart city technology.
The following is a list of cities that have implemented smart city initiatives, organized by continent and then alphabetically.. The Institute for Management Development and Singapore University of Technology and Design rank cities in the Smart City Index according to technological, economic and human criteria (e.g., the quality of life, the environment and inclusiveness).
