Abstract

Since late twentieth century, the concept of smart city has been a central topic in public and academic debate. The smart city term is commonly used by local administrators and policy maker to promote and to prepare the cities for the future challenges. There are recent definitions of smart city but is very difficult to define the characteristics that describe how to become a smart city and how a local administration is committed to achieving this goal. Using a project team with multidisciplinary skills is a popular tool in all types of organizations to respond to complex challenges. In this perspective, the project team can represent a tool for involving people and stakeholders in the Smart cities process. One way of clarifying a team management structure is to consider the work which needs to be done to manage members. Although the details vary between professions and according to the level of gender, age, seniority, competence, knowledge of the members, in principle someone has to be responsible for the management tasks. Descriptions of different team management are useful for research purposes, but also help teams and their managers to clarify their structure and the options open to them to make improvements. The aim study is to provide a better understanding of the nature of multidisciplinary project teams, out to investigate the important features of a particular multidisciplinary team and understanding how is led and how its member is managed. Multidisciplinary team' is a term used to describe a variety of different interprofessional working arrangements.
