Christophe Premat ()

A chapter in Smarter as the New Urban Agenda, 2016, pp 207-224 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Sweden is known to be a well-connected society. There is a will to transform the nation into a digital nation with a specific place granted to the smart cities. These smart cities began to map a digital agenda for the next years where e-business, universities, smart transportation, and green and cultural policies have to be combined. The aim of this chapter is to analyze a few municipal digital agendas (Stockholm, Göteborg, Malmö, Jönköping, Umeå) to describe the Swedish model of smart cities. The question is to know whether the digital agenda is linked to a strong development of smart cities.
