Abstract: Smart city construction is a key link in the modernization of municipal social governance. The new strategies of municipal social governance modernization point out a new direction for smart city construction. Based on the TOE framework, an empirical analysis was given on the factors influencing the development level of prefecture-level smart cities in China. The results showed that the development level of science and technology, financial resources and demand pressure are the key factors affecting the development level of smart cities, while the input of science and technology, political pressure and openness do not have significant influence on the development level of smart cities. The transformation path of smart cities from the perspective of municipal social governance modernization includes optimization of the technical governance system, enhancement of the organizational mobilization capacity and improvement of the external resources environment.

Key words: smart city; municipal social governance modernization; influencing factor; transformation path
