Abstract: (From Accepted Manuscript) The current smart city development models provide novel insights regarding formation. However, there is need for greater depth to aid practical implementation of these developments. This chapter examines the formation of the most recent European Capital of Smart Tourism, Ljubljana in Slovenia. It applies Wang and Fesenmaier's (2007) stages of collaboration formation in destinations and path dependence theory. The study illustrates that smart development, though theorised as being linear, is, in fact, a cyclical and historically contingent process, thereby making it subject to both internal and external processes.
