ABSTRACT. Despite the relevance of smart city software systems and Internet of Things sensors in sustainable urban governance networks, only limited research has been conducted on this topic. Using and replicating data from Accenture, CB Insights, CompTIA, ICMA, ISC, KPMG, McKinsey, Nutter Consulting, PTI, RICS, SCC, and USDN, I performed analyses and made estimates regarding how smart cities integrate embedded networks of sensors and devices. The results of a study based on data collected from 5,400 respondents provide support for my research model. Descriptive statistics of compiled data from the completed surveys were calculated when appropriate.
