Purpose: the purpose of the elaboration is a review of civic budget projects in cities of Wielkopolska (Greater Poland region) in 2018 with a view to compliance with the smart city concept. Design/methodology/approach: (mandatory) The study was carried out in three stages. At the first stage, websites of all 113 cities in Wielkopolska were reviewed (full study in February-April 2020), which allowed to diagnose the level of implementation of civic budgets in the surveyed population in 2018. At the second stage, information on all correctly submitted project applications (915) and the number of finally selected projects for implementation (279) were collected. In the third stage, ten winning projects were selected, based on using the information and communication technologies (ICT). Due to the difficulty of verifying activities in terms of being smart, a fairly simplified technological criterion was adopted, assuming that in order to achieve the smart city 2.0 phase a systemic approach based on the rapid flow of information between different devices is required. Findings: Only 40% of cities in Greater Poland region created civic budgets which leaves a lot of space for improvements. Projects selected for implementation under civic budgets are still largely of investment nature. A considerable number of tasks related to sport, culture and tourism were reported. At the first stage, smart city projects focus on simple activities improving life, especially in the area of smart living, while attempts to implement system solutions within smart city 2.0+ phases are carried out at this stage only in the Poznań agglomeration. Research limitations/implications: it is worth repeating the research on the quality of projects approved for implementation under civic budgets in every Polish region, with extended understanding of smart city projects beyond the use of ICT. Such a comprehensive list could be helpful for the formulation of urban policy assumptions, which is required at the smart city 2.0 and 3.0 phases. Originality/value The paper fills a research gap regarding the limited resource of publications related to the description and classification of prevailing projects in a regional approach.
