Abstract: Abstract To implement a smart city is a complex task, involving different aspects and several actors. During the latest years, many cities all over the world have been started to design and implement their own smart strategy, involving a large set of different players. As a smart city is especially based on the use of innovative technologies in the urban area, three main actors are involved in its implementation: local government, research institutions and technology vendors. Local government drive the smart city planning and rule the general aspects; research institution offer their competences in studying and experimenting innovative technologies and solutions; vendors produce and sell technological platforms and infrastructures for the smart city realization. A linking role is played by consulting companies, offering direction services in complex projects. This chapter analyzes the most cited scientific and professional publications to verify the different point of view issued by these different smart city actors and compare their smart city definition.
