Resumen
The rapid growth of the population in cities has
given rise to major urban challenges. This has led city
governments to use technical solutions based on
Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs),
arising the concept of smart city (SC). However, the
strategy followed to become smart is still very diffuse.
This paper seeks to analyze the opinion of the ICT
managers of local governments in their initial stage of
cities to become smart. To achieve this aim, we have
conducted empirical research in Costa Rican cities,
which are initiating the SC process, but emphasizing the
technological implementation strategy they are using.
Concretely, this paper analyzes variables such as the
number of ICT projects, dimensions, goals and expected
impacts as well as their association. Findings provide
technological strategies that can be used and thus
facilitate the implementation process of cities to become
smart as well as the achievement of results.
