The holy grail of smart cities is an integrated, sustainable approach to improve the efficiency
of the city’s operations and the quality of life of citizens. At the heart of this vision is the citizen,
who is the primary beneficiary of smart city initiatives, either directly or indirectly. Despite the
recent surge of research and smart cities initiatives in practice, there are still a number of challenges
to overcome in realizing this vision. This position paper points out six citizen-related challenges:
the engagement of citizens, the improvement of citizens’ data literacy, the pairing of quantitative
and qualitative data, the need for open standards, the development of personal services, and the
development of persuasive interfaces. The article furthermore advocates the use of methods and
techniques from GIScience to tackle these challenges, and presents the concept of an Open City
Toolkit as a way of transferring insights and solutions from GIScience to smart cities. [-]
