Abstract(s)
The world in general and cities in particular face tremendous challenges at the environmental, social, economic
and institutional levels. Currently, cities need to be sustainable and smart. As our better knowledge, most of the literature
explores the concept of smart cities from the point of view of information and communications technology unless the
connection with the social and sustainability aspects remains unsolved. This paper tries to overcome this gap in the
literature. The main aim is to analyse the contribution of short supply chains of foods in terms of the sustainability of smart
cities. The methods include a scoping revision of the literature. Information and data also come from the preliminary
results from the SGDsCONSUM project. The results confirm the positive impacts of short supply chains of food in urban
areas towards smart and sustainable cities. The conclusions of this paper will be helpful for scholars and public decision-
makers to implement their policies accordingly.
