Title: Orchestrating the Implementation of the Smart City Show Chinese title

Title: 协调智能城市的实施

Abstract: This chapter explores the six core dimensions of smart cities (i.e. smart economy, mobility, environment, people, living, and governance) emphasizing their interdependence and the need for holistic orchestration. Building on Giffinger et al. (2007) and subsequent literature, it argues that integrating these dimensions is crucial for sustainable urban development. ICT plays a key enabling role but must be complemented by human and social capital. Through institutional examples, such as the creation of dedicated municipal offices for digital innovation, the chapter illustrates how governance and internal capacity shape smart transitions. A human-centric approach is also essential, ensuring inclusivity, creativity, and active civic participation. Ultimately, smart cities must be viewed as cohesive urban ecosystems where technology, people, and governance interact dynamically. Show Chinese abstract

Abstract: 本章探讨了智慧城市六个核心维度（即智慧经济、交通、环境、人群、生活和治理），强调它们的相互依赖性以及整体协调的必要性。 在Giffinger等（2007）及后续文献的基础上，本文认为整合这些维度对于可持续城市发展至关重要。 信息通信技术（ICT）起着关键的促进作用，但必须与人力和社会资本相结合。 通过制度实例，如设立专门的市政数字创新办公室，本章说明了治理和内部能力如何塑造智慧转型。 以人为本的方法同样至关重要，确保包容性、创造力和积极的公民参与。 最终，智慧城市应被视为一个紧密联系的城市生态系统，其中技术、人群和治理动态互动。
