Hi Kjersti - have you tried looking in any education databases e.g. Eric or Ebsco Education Complete?
Also Eurostat http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/portal/page/portal/region_cities/introduction
Has a detailed urban statistics section though obviously EU and I'm not sure how easy locating smart city information will be.
There is also my favourite database for anything (other than architecture and construction) Academic Search Complete

Sorry, I should have mentioned what I have tried - and what I have access to. We have Scopus; ISI Web of Science, Avery ... most of the important architecture; planning and energy reference databases, but I thought it would be interesting to hear if you had any "favourite sources" for this kind of information.
