Abstract

The study aims to analyze the success of the Smart City strategy in Italy, England, the United States, and Spain. This study uses qualitative research methods with bibliometric analysis. Data for 501 articles were obtained from Scopus keywords “Smart City” and “Project,” the definition of social science in the last ten years. The four highest countries are Italy 66, United Kingdom 58, United States 54 and Spain 42. Data analysis uses VOSviewer and NVivo12 software to find trending themes. The results show that the strategy’s success is supported by three factors, system, application, and government. Italy focuses on applications and systems; application development includes building platforms, open-source technologies, and urban data platforms. System development emphasizes the design of support systems, system effectiveness, and transportation systems. The UK focuses on applications and governance, including application development, collaborative innovation platforms, data security, and transport infrastructure projects. Development is directed at city administrators, mobile data-centric service development, and ICT-driven policymaking. The United States focuses on government development, city challenges, sustainable development, and urban development. Spain focuses on application development, efficient energy, competent government, and urban participatory policymaking. The success of the smart city strategy is strongly influenced by application development. Future research is expected to discuss empirical testing of the conceptual framework developed by intelligent cities with the web of science.
