5.1 Keyword analysis from definitions

All the definitions (listed on Annex 1) were analysed to identify the top keywords and characteristics
that make a smart sustainable city. Some words such as "smart" and "city" are implicit and
mentioned in almost every description, and hence these words have not been captured explicitly as
a separate keyword.

A total of 50 keywords were identified which appeared to have multiple references across all the
studied definitions. There were a total number of 726 instances of these 50 keywords. These are
captured and presented below in a table to reflect the relative contribution/number of times that
these keywords were repeated across all the 100+ definitions. Based on the literature review, a
graphical representation of the relative importance of the different keywords was developed. The
larger the font is, the more important the word is.
