This study discusses the link between the idea of the Smart City and urban form.The paper aims to fill a research gap in terms of the physical structure of a SmartCity by investigating how its spatial dimension can be evaluated and measured. Themethodology used is based on a comparative and interpretive analysis of logicalargumentation based on analysis and synthesis. The main aim of this researchwas to develop a method to evaluate the spatial dimension of a smart city. In orderto achieve this, a four-step process was formulated: Step 1. Extracting elementsof urban form and the Smart City as a concept. Step 2. Examining the possiblecorrelations between each component of a Smart City and urban form elements.Step 3. Creating a Smart City urban form evaluation tool. Step 4. Testing the toolon existing smart cities: the Songdo IBD in South Korea, and Aspern Seestadt inVienna, Austria. The final outcome is a proposed tool for measuring and evaluatingurban form which may be applied to future smart city projects.
