Purpose: The aim of this article is to capture the relationship between the concept of corporate social responsibility and the idea of smart city. Both concepts share the idea of sustainable development. Design/methodology/approach: The article analyzes selected, available literature on CSR, smart city, and sustainable development. Apart from literature review, the author uses the method of analysis and logical construction. Findings: The article presents the issue of the relationship between corporate social responsibility and the smart city concept. Due to the fact that most of the world's population lives in cities and the migration process is still ongoing, it is important to make cities a place friendly to its inhabitants and the environment. The condition for this is building smart cities and running a business within them based on CSR principles. Research limitations/implications: The text refers to a limited number of studies. Further research should be conducted to verify the real impact of CSR application on cities existing in specific socio-economic conditions. Originality/value: The article refers to selected literature in the field of CSR and smart city. The most important issues related to sustainable development are discussed as an element connecting both title concepts. The value of this article is an indication of the relationship between the concepts of CSR and smart city, also perceived by many researchers, which consists in the fact that CSR is one of the factors of sustainable smart city. The article also emphasizes the axiological dimension of both title concepts.(original abstract)
