Abstract

Without establishing a link between theoretical reflection and empirical inquiry, “smartness” as well as “smart development” risk to be nothing but what Star and Griesemer (1989) would call a «boundary object» (i.e.: something that can be interpreted in so many different ways). On the one hand, in fact, three main different smart urban development approaches can be distinguished; on the other, existing resources and local weaknesses, possible opportunities and challenges play a relevant role. The aim of the paper thus consists of checking “on the ground” the concept of “smart development” by using as a case-study the city of Rome and its metropolitan area.
