“…Planning the urban territory for sustainable spatial development implies taking actions in several directions -environment and sustainable urban environment, health, smart management of urban systems, construction of green infrastructure, accessibility, and sustainable and environmentally friendly urban transport. In this regard, we find several studies that focus on the research of planning smart and sustainable cities (Sikora-Fernandez, Stawasz, 2016;Liu, Wu, 2023;Ablyazov, Baizakov, 2022). The concept of building smart cities is also directly related to their sustainability.…”

This article is dedicated to the spatial development model of Stara Zagora municipality. The focus is on planning and managing the territory of the municipality. The process is presented in a complex aspect, which is tied to spatial development. The major purpose of the research is thorugh interdisciplinary approach to identify and analyze the specifics and problems of the Stara Zagora municipality spatial development. The authors explore the territotorial development of Stara Zagora, on the one hand, and on the other, the formation of specific patterns of space utilization and the territory's arrangement. Also the research brings out the importance of the Gross Domestic Product per person of the population in an area of Stara Zagora as a measure of the average level of the population. The authors prove the necessity for significantly increasing the average level of GDP per person for the region. This positive trend is a function of both the high GDP that produces the district and the population partly due to these high differences.

“…Informed geospatial datasets must provide insights into different aspects of urban life, from mobility to health, disaster risk management, education, and security [100][101][102][103][104]. In this way, the integration of geospatial data within a smart-city framework can enhance the adaptability and resilience of cities and support sustainability goals for the development of innovative urban management solutions [105][106][107]. As we delve into the multifaceted domain of sustainable cities, the importance of comprehensively understanding, managing, and using geospatial datasets becomes clear.…”

In recent years, the concept of smart cities has become increasingly important in the pursuit of sustainable development goals. In general, common urban challenges have been addressed through smart-city services, and new perspectives for more sustainable cities have emerged. To realize the full potential of such smart urban environments, geospatial approaches have been used as a focal point, offering a plethora of applications that contribute to a better understanding of urban challenges and innovation potentials. Nevertheless, although significant progress has been made, different problems may arise when the available technologies and resources are not understood or even when their potentialities are not properly capitalized. This article reviews the state of the art in the field, highlighting success cases and remaining challenges in exploiting geospatial data-driven strategies, particularly when leveraging geographic information systems, satellites, and distributed sensors to produce and process geospatial data and datasets in urban scenarios. Moreover, a more organized perspective of the area is provided in this article, as well as future development trends, supporting new research efforts in this area when empowering smart cities for a more sustainable future.

“…The growth of the digital economy can typically be attributed to technological innovations [ 63 ]. Such innovations contribute to the enhancement of the economic framework by facilitating streamlined transactions in digital services and goods [ 64 ], introducing new industrial structures for emerging applications [ 65 ], and promoting the widespread adoption of the Internet of Things [ 66 ]. As a result, these developments support continuous gains in the productivity of this sector.…”

Objectives The development of the digital economy constitutes a key component of China’s endeavors to advance towards “Digital China.” The sports industry functions as a new catalyst for high-quality economic growth. This study systematically evaluated the integration between these two sectors. Methods First, we conducted two levels of grey relational analysis to assess their integration between 2016 and 2021. Second, we conducted a VAR analysis to determine whether their integration between 2009 and 2021 represents a causal relationship. Results At the macro level, the grey relational analysis reveals that the sports industry (grade = 0.770) ranked second among China’s eight key economic sectors in terms of digital economy integration. At the meso level, a wide variation (ranging from 0.606 to 0.789) existed in the grade of integration between the digital economy and the sub-sectors of the sports industry. According to the VAR model, the digital economy does not Granger cause (p = 0.344) the growth of the sports industry. Conclusions This study yielded two added values to the existing literature: First, there exists a sectoral imbalance in the digitization process; second, the explosive growth of the sports industry was not primarily caused by the digital economy. Accordingly, the “sports + digital” complex is still in the first wave of technological integration. We propose three policy recommendations, namely, sectoral synergistic development, overtaking via esports IP, and new economy and new regulation. Collectively, these findings provide updated insights for the digital transformation towards “building a leading sports nation” and “Digital China.”
