ABSTRACT Smart cities are designed to use data to optimize resources, maintain sustainability, and improve people’s quality of life. While many urban technologies are employed to make cities “smart,” one constellation of technologies has been less examined in the academic literature—digital maps and the spatial data infrastructure. This paper is an attempt to systematically review the functions and evolution of digital maps and the spatial data infrastructure, with examples from Asia and beyond, in supporting and making smart cities possible. Based on the conceptual framework and empirical case studies, four major research directions of smart mapping are identified to better support smart city initiatives.

“映射”智慧城市

摘要 智慧城市旨在利用数据来优化资源、保持可持续性并提高人们的生活质量。虽然许多城市技术被用来使城市变得“智能”，但学术文献中对一组技术的研究较少——数字地图和空间数据基础设施。本文试图系统地回顾数字地图和空间数据基础设施的功能和演变，其中包括亚洲及其他地区的例子，以支持和使智慧城市成为可能。基于概念框架和实证案例研究，确定了智能地图的四个主要研究方向，以更好地支持智慧城市计划。
