Abstract
This document presents an attempt to determine guidelines for the implementation of the
blockchain projects within smart city (SC) information systems (IS) to improve their security and sustainability
through harnessing benefits of blockchain technology. Although available scientific sources
are scarce a review of contemporary scientific literature and other available sources attempts to determine
weaknesses of current IS within SC and to compare their vs benefits of the blockchain technology
in order to show that blockchain technology can offer potential solution to weaknesses and improve SC
IS and therefore the sustainability of the SC itself. However, this research only shows the need for such
implementations and discuss what further research is required to provide a framework for the implementation
of blockchain technology in smart cities.
Key words
Blockchain, Smart city, Project management, Information systems, Sustainability.
