The results indi-cate that the potential of this approach don't depend on ICT employ-ment, but the transition from a "traditional" city to a Smart city could be smoothened by adopting strategic agenda that appropriately take in-to account local peculiarities, and are defined at a scale which trans-cends city limits and in¬cludes the whole metropolitan area.
