International Journal of Sustainable Design (IJSDES), Vol. 3, No. 3, 2019

Abstract: The paper synthesises and defines the concept of smart city. The study synthesises the existing literature to drive the meaning of smart city and designing a positioning framework. Majorly, all the literature sources have searched out to find out the relevant literature by using the terms like smart city, framework for a smart city/cities, meaning of a smart city, smart city design and so on. A literature map has been created to drive the positioning framework. The study proposes six frameworks for the positioning of a smart city; these frameworks are smart technology, smart economy, smart governance, smart mobility, smart environment, and smart community However, these parameters are not independent of each other; rather, there exists a level of interconnectivity between them. A positioning framework can help in ranking the smart cities and these rankings can help the builders and consumers in the decision making.
