Just published this special issue of the Journal of Knowledge Economy was prepared in the framework of the FIREBALL FP7-ICT project and comprises seven papers presenting how advanced European cities develop strategies towards becoming “smart cities’, based on many innovative usages of broadband infrastructures, Internet-based applications, Living Labs and people-driven innovation ecosystems.
These strategies aim to develop new types of innovation ecosystems in urban areas, which are characterized by a high level of citizen involvement in co-creating products and services in all sectors of the economy and society and by the emergence of new forms of collaboration among local governments, research institutes, universities, and companies.
