(2019). Assessing the Gap between Technology and the Environmental Sustainability of European Cities. Information Systems Frontiers, 21(3). https://doi.org/10.1007/s10796-019-09903-3The growth of cities’ population increased the interest in the opportunities and challenges that Information and Communication Technology (ICT) have on carbon footprint reduction, which fosters their environmental sustainability. Using Principal Component Analysis (PCA), six ICT-related variables from European Union (EU) cities were combined into a single two-dimensional ICT index. Then, through cluster analysis, cities were clustered into four groups based on the ICT index and Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions. Using ICT as an indicator of smartness and CO 2 emissions as an indicator of sustainability, we show that it is possible for a city to be smart but not sustainable and vice versa. Results also indicate that there is a gap between cities in northern Europe, which are the top performers in both categories, and cities in south-eastern Europe, which do not perform as well. The need for a common strategy for achieving integrated smart, sustainable and inclusive growth at a European level is demonstrated.NOVA Information Management School (NOVA IMS)Information Management Research Center (MagIC) - NOVA Information Management SchoolRUNAkande, AdeoluwaCabral, PedroCasteleyn, Sven2019-03-07T23:18:55Z2019-06-152019-06-15T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/article24application/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.1007/s10796-019-09903-3eng1387-3326PURE: 11905833http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=85061720896&partnerID=8YFLogxKhttps://doi.org/10.1007/s10796-019-09903-3info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-03-11T04:29:34Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/62588Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:33:46.340968Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
