Abstract

In development policy everything seems to be more attractive and marketable when labelled 'small1; the expression is often used even as a synonym for 'environmentally-friendly' or 'sustainable'. Considering urban development projects, smart city development is one of the most popular paradigms, triggering global competition between cities as well as the interested companies, both expecting mutual benefits from the cooperation. The article, on the one hand, tries to reveal, why the smart city paradigm has now stalled to thrive, and what factors played a part in its rapid development On the other hand, through the presentation of international practices, the authors intend to answer what social impacts these developments have had. what challenges have the smart city developments met. and whether in the future the actors could learn from their mistakes and consciously take into account the complexity of impacts.
