Abstract
Based on the strategies of smart cities from around the world, an initial study and results are relayed here based on a sample of 30 cities. Subsequently, more case studies were added to the roster representing 50 strategies. A selection of 10 studies was then identified for a more in-depth focus on actually existing case studies. This chapter conveys a diversity of cases based on actually existing plans for smart development based on smart strategies. In this way, it is possible to pinpoint ‘actually existing smart cities’ from around the world. Inherent in the unique cases is a sense of the disparate priorities evident in smart strategies and cases contingent on their location.
