Abstract: As humanity entered in the so-called “metropolitan century†, the smart city has become a topicof interest both for researchers and practitioners worldwide. In the age of globalization, smartcities are in a fierce competition for tourists, companies, technology, and human talent. Smartcities are increasingly seen as complex places that involve a multidimensional approach. Thus, thesmart city subject lies at the border of several domains such as urban planning, architecture orbusiness. The paper aims to define the concept of smart city and to present the evolution of theworld’s smartest city in recent years. It illustrates the way smart cities are assessed according to aspecific index, Cities in Motion Index. The paper shows that the world’s smartest cities were fromEurope and the United States of America in the period 2014-2017.
