Abstract：

Taking into account the diversification, ambiguous context and lack of knowledge of citizen participation in smart theory research area, this paper analyzes the evolution of typical attitudes on smart city theory from the view of “roles the citizens play during the smart city construction”. Then, it puts forward an integrative framework of smart city theory based on the “ICT maturity-urban development needs-tasks” dimension, based on which it proposes that (1) human recognition is the source of driving force for smart city construction; (2) smart city is a system of systems; (3) smart city construction is a continuously deepening continuum; (4) the construction contents should experience three stages which include infrastructure construction, institution transformation and citizen innovation; (5) the market-based business model is a strong support for the healthy and sustainable development of smart cities. Next, according to the above evolution analysis and research proposals, this paper advances the developing directions as well as puts forward some related suggestions: (1) the researchers should keep an active contact with the practitioners in order to promote the theories’ guiding roles on practices; (2) innovative research perspective, constructing a smart city theoretical system according to the “bottom-up” construction model; (3) innovate the method of acquiring data; (4) focus on the citizen participation field; (5) pay more attention to innovate the business models of smart cites construction.
