Smart people make a smart city. Smartness is about being intelligent, networked, agile, creative, learning. A smart social system is less about technology and more about behavior. The role of leadership and adequate public governance is of upmost importance. Smart development requires application of uncommon sense in decision making.

Smart people make a smart city. This volume presents a collection of papers on the concept of smartness, smart development and the international practices in the field. There are five key topic areas: the conceptual, smart economy, smart specialisation, smart city and public governance. The concept of a smart social system is grounded on comparative analysis of competing concepts such as intelligence, knowledge driven, digital, learning, networked, innovative, agile and sustainable.
