Smart cities are complex ecosystems that use information and communication technologies for helping their citizens and organizations deal with the challenges of urbanization, safety, resilience, and sustainability. Their creation is a long and laborious transformation that should not be considered mainly as a technical challenge but as a movement to create citizen-centered ecosystems that improve quality of life and stimulate economic activity. Smart city ecosystems comprise people, organizations and businesses, policies, technologies, legislation, and processes integrated to create the desired outcomes. Within this context, people comprise a vital constituent in these efforts and a highly skilled workforce is key in rendering smart city ecosystems a reality. Further, cities are important drivers for growth, employment creation, and sustainable green progress. They play a central role in the digital transformation of the economy, achieving sustainable growth in the digital sector and using advanced technology to serve citizens. Today, more and more smart cities are emerging worldwide creating a sustainable and strongly growing market. According to various market reports, it is expected that this market will reach the size of 1 billion euros worldwide, but the most important fact is that it is expected to change our daily lives. Although for several years we were working on the development of this new smart ecosystem, quite recently we discovered that the people factor was not considered, sufficiently. We realized that even though billions were invested in technological or urban development, not sufficient effort had been made in training the necessary workforce with the skills to fulfill this vision. The development of a smart city was considered “business as usual” by the IT vendors, or even yet another case of modern technology deployment. However, this is far from true as smart cities transverse every aspect of our lives and our activities.
