Summary/Abstract: The concept of „smart city” represents the new buzz word when discussing the contemporary urban planning practices. With the help of ICT infrastructures, settlements are nowadays more interconnected than ever, mediated at the distance and operated through control centres. At the same time, the proliferation of threats and risks to the ICT networks affect the well functioning of such intelligent tools of urban governance. Thus, the resilience of such a connected and prone to malitious actions system becomes the desiderate to decissions makers. The current research attempts to disentangle these concepts by providing an up-to-date state of art and concequently discussing gaps in the current literature on this matter. Moreover, the paper suugests some further directions of study and limits of current scholarship in this realm of research. The paper concludes that a system-of-systems approach to smart cities’ resilience is missing in the literature.
