Abstract

With the escalating influx of οpen data daily, the European Commission, as per the European’s 2022 Strategic Foresight Report, prioritizes fostering equitable, greener and digital societies. The conversion of conventional services to digital platforms to support citizens in urban areas is now becoming the norm, posing challenges for accessible civic infrastructures. Open data-defined as data that can be freely used, re-used and redistributed by anyoneare expected to bring forth opportunities and societal adjustment challenges. Despite being under investigation for the past two decades, the intersection of Open Data and Smart Cities continues to be a dynamic and developing research area. The progressive implementation of Smart Cities demands the development of new skills and competences. Our systematic literature review uncovers these research gaps highlighting potential areas for development and further study. In addition, this study investigates the legal and policy frameworks regarding Open Data and Open Data for Smart Cities. It explores the impact of Open Data on Smart Cities, as well as the necessary competencies and skills required by data officers to support the implementation of Smart Cities. Furthermore, the research will examine the upskilling and reskilling strategies for data officers in Smart Cities concerning Open Data.
