Abstract

In the Smart Cities, there are several research streams, one of them is represented by the application of service dominant logic and science engineering, which usually identifies different layers in the Smart City depending on their value propositions. Between the layer of IT services and the actual services provided by the city, we found that there is an uncertainty regarding how the city services can be designed and adapted in different contexts. This may be caused by the lack of systematic management and comprehensive overview of the city data such as open data in the city. Therefore, this paper proposes to analyze the multi-contextual environment of Smart Cities and uses the data as an essential source for the key decisions in the city development and service design. It also outlines the process to support such a solution and achieve a sustainable and resilient city.
