Figure 2 – Example of SSC stakeholder classification.

Adapted from the LFA Methodology.
This stakeholder mapping exercise will provide cities with an initial framework to identify the
stakeholders that will take part of their transformation into smart sustainable cities. It is intended
to be a tool to facilitate the coordination activities needed to implement SSC policies and projects.
As mentioned before, the stakeholder identification has to be city‐specific.

3 Detailed analysis of selected stakeholders

3.1 An analysis of selected stakeholders

This is one of the most important phases of the stakeholder's identification process for SSC, because
it establishes a methodological approach to analyse the role and potential contribution implications
that one stakeholder may have on a city. This analysis can been done considering two approaches,
described as follows:
a. By identifying their individual characteristics and their potential contribution expected
implications for the project, which can be illustrated in a matrix of stakeholders containing
the following dimensions:
 Scale and Sector: The scale at which the stakeholder operates (e.g., local or supra‐local
scale); and, when relevant, the sector in which they operate (e.g., public or private
sector).
 Aims and Challenges: The aims refer to the key objectives or advantages they seek from

 Potential and Constraints: Potential refer to issues such as stakeholders' resource
endowment, knowledge, experience and know‐how. Constraints refer to issues that
