Main article: Smart Nation
Despite its size and lack of natural resources, Singapore (a city-state) has overcome many of its challenges in 50 short years to become one of the world's most advanced and liveable countries. It has embarked on its next phase of transformation towards a Smart Nation, and endeavours to harness the power of networks, data and info-comm technologies to improve living, create economic opportunities and build closer communities.
Stockholm

The Kista Science City from above.
Stockholm's smart city technology is underpinned by the Stokab dark fibre system^[118] which was developed in 1994 to provide a universal fibre optic network across Stockholm.^[119] Private companies are able to lease fibre as service providers on equal terms. The company is owned by the City of Stockholm itself.^[22] Within this framework, Stockholm has created a Green IT strategy.^[120] The Green IT program seeks to reduce the environmental impact of Stockholm through IT functions such as energy efficient buildings (minimising heating costs), traffic monitoring (minimising the time spent on the road) and development of e-services (minimising paper usage). The e-Stockholm platform is centred on the provision of e-services, including political announcements, parking space booking and snow clearance.^[121] This is further being developed through GPS analytics, allowing residents to plan their route through the city.^[121] An example of district-specific smart city technology can be found in the Kista Science City region.^[122] This region is based on the triple helix concept of smart cities,^[35] where university, industry and government work together to develop ICT applications for implementation in a smart city strategy.
