Although it does not have global definitions and planning regulations, most governments make considerable efforts on developing their own strategic smart city plans. One of the most important problems in smart city initiatives is to find the best solutions compatible with the smart systems for building technologies. In that context, the main focus of this study is to explore the success factors of smart city strategies from the perspective of building technology solutions. To that end, firstly, the definitions and characteristics of the smart city concept are identified for a better understanding of smart city strategies. Then, a detailed examination of smart city strategies is carried out for two reports named NSCSAP and MSCEU. NSCSAP (2020-2023 National Smart Cities Strategies and Action Plan) was reported in 2019 by the Republic of Turkey Ministry of Environment and Urbanization, and MSCEU (Mapping Smart Cities in the EU) was released in 2014 by the European Parliament. The findings obtained from the examination of the mentioned reports indicate that smart building is considered as a promising building technology solution for achieving the desired success in smart city initiatives.
