Revista Economica, 2020, vol. 72, issue 1, 102-114

Abstract: This scientific article is an empirical observation of the smart city concept and how it can be developed sustainably and inclusive on long-term. The paper also highlights some of the most significant trends in the development of smart cities and cultural-creative local communities. The main results of the research showed that a viable model of smart and sustainable development of a city can be considered Vienna, a city whose development is based on a quadruple-helix collaboration, holistic strategy, top-down approach and a multi-dimensional vision. The paper also showed that new information and communication technologies will continue to innovate smart development strategies, and the biggest international corporations will become step by step leading trendsetter of future cities, transforming utopia into reality.
