Abstract
This study presents a systematic review of dimensions and dominant issues in smart city research. A total of 70 papers obtained from the top eight senior baskets of IS journals and five academic literature databases from 2016 to May 2020 were reviewed. Following the review, various issues were analyzed under five main elements that shape smart city projects, i.e., smart mobility, smart energy, smart living, smart urbanism, and the Internet of Things. Findings from the review showed that smart cities are multi-dimensional, comprising governmental, socioeconomic, and environmental factors, each with unique dynamics and degree of context sensitivity. Information communication and technology serves as the backbone for smart city initiatives. The findings also suggest six main areas for future smart city research; stakeholder collaboration, IS policies governing smart cities, big data, citizen involvement, built environment, and smart healthcare. These future research areas are also necessary for the African research context. Cities that want to embark on sustainable smart city initiatives should involve public authorities, private businesses, and citizens. Future research should also examine the context-based factors that influence smart cities.
