Smart city, an intelligent city can be considered as a territory with great capacity for learning, innovation, and creativity, where there are research and development institutions, higher education centers equipped with digital infrastructure and communication technologies, and a high level management performance. Cities can be defined as smart, if they have human and social capital, communications infrastructure, both traditional and modern (transport and communication technologies respectively) and their development conform to the theory of sustainable development. Likewise, the citizen participation in its system of government should contribute towards the improvement of the quality of life. The aim of this article is to find the factors of the creation and operation of smart cities and state whether they are necessary for the development of urbanized areas or they are just a new fashion for local authorities to label the city and convey a distinctive image of it. This work presents the case study of Barcelona, the fourth smart city in Europe.
