Abstract: ICT development has been exponential in the last decade both at European level and globally. Analyzing some relevant statistics, we focused on demonstrating that ICT is being used more and more at the individual level, by citizens, we cannot ignore the fact that local government institutions are the ones that need to be responsible for educating society and getting involved in the development of smart cities. Finally, we discussed about disruptive technologies and their connection to the smart city concept. As we have seen, these disruptive technologies such as IoT, Big data or Open data are in the attention of private companies in order to improve their profitability, but public bodies still struggle to understand and implement these concepts. Few examples are given with regards of disruptive technologies and recommendations are formulated for organizations to keep up the pace with technology development.
