Abstract: This study aims to evaluate the similarities and differences between several Smart Cities in Italy and China. For these reasons, the paper is based on two key points; the first is a broad literature review about Smart Cities to explore their evolution and identify strategic elements; the second is based on a quantitative survey of Italian and Chinese Smart Cities to show and compare common and different characteristics. The Smart City concept is a new method of seeing the city of the future. Technological and socioeconomic solutions are required for implementation concerns. Smart Cities solve local and global problems through modern technology and efficient resource management. Nonetheless, each area implements smart projects, activities, and tools as needed based on its unique concerns. There are exciting and substantial differences in Smart City implementation. The research findings present a taxonomy of parallels and differences between Italian and Chinese Smart Cities based on identified essential features.
