Abstract
The Smart City is the highest stage of urban information development and an emerging model of sustainable urban development. Currently, the predominant focus of smart city research lies in the domain of construction, while there exists a dearth of discourse and theoretical underpinning pertaining to the sustainable development of smart cities with regards to conceptual standards and practical necessities. This insufficiency in comprehensive discussion and theoretical support may hinder the progress of Smart City research and impede the long-term effectiveness of implementation strategies. In order to address these concerns, this study chooses the most typical Amsterdam Smart City and investigates viable options for sustainable urban growth. A comprehensive definition of a smart city is formulated through a thematic study, this study adopting a prototype theory as the basis. The study also presents reference strategies for establishing a sustainable development model for smart cities in China, utilizing case studies. The findings indicate that the continued development of the Smart City model can contribute to the progress of urban intelligence, information systems, and modernization in the long run. Besides, this paper provides a case study of smart cities for in-depth investigation, with development factors influencing the selection of subsequent urban development plans.
