With the reference to the Smart City Initiatives Framework that we suggested in our previous research, this study aims to build a new understanding of smart city initiatives. Main findings are categorized into eight aspects including technology, management and organization, policy context, governance, people and communities, economy, built infrastructure, and natural environment. %G English %Z TC 8 %Z WG 8.5 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01543596/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01543596/file/978-3-642-33489-4_4_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01543596 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01543596 %~ SHS %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC8 %~ IFIP-EGOV %~ IFIP-WG8-5 %~ IFIP-LNCS-7443 %~ RIATE-ATE
