Urban enterprise: A review of Smart City frameworks from an Enterprise Architecture perspective

Abstract

With the increasing interest towards the concept of Smart Cities from the city governments world-wide there is a need for useful and Information Systems oriented approach to understand Smart City propositions. In this paper we review a Smart City from an Enterprise Architecture (EA) perspective. We adapt TOGAF Architecture Development Method (ADM) to derive the concept of Enterprise Concerns. These concerns will subsequently be used to review the Smart City literature. Finally, we summarize our findings and propose the concept of the Urban Enterprise composed of Urban Enterprise Components.
