“…Figure 3 shows the condition of road infrastructure in the Mamminasata Metropolitan suburbs which are generally of two types, asphalt and concrete, measuring 8-12 m. However, facts gathered from the field shows that the transportation infrastructure facilitates accessibility from the city center to suburbs and vice versa. Hence, the functional socio-economic transport system is capable of accommodating the mobility, safety, comfort and convenience of all inhabitants (Soyinka et al, 2016). Therefore, Makassar city, Maros regency and Gowa regency have a fairly high intensity of mobilization.…”

The rapid development observed in metropolitan cities affects the spatial interaction between regions and urban cluster settlements, leading to the fiscal growth of suburbs. This study is therefore, aimed to examine and analyze the spatial integration, urban agglomeration, economic growth and formation of the social territorial structures in the Mamminasata Metropolitan suburb using a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches. Meanwhile, data were obtained through observation, surveys and documentation studies. Furthermore, the results showed that an elevation in the pattern of urban activities elicited changes parameters assessed which lead to economic growth in the suburbs of Mamminasata Metropolitan. This finding further indicated that spatial integration an urban agglomeration and the increase of activity, led to land tenure inequality and differences in adaptation between migrants and the local community. However, changes in spatial use influenced the structure and pattern of space, therefore, causing the formation of social territorial structures in the area.

“…The city center has a considerable potential role in regional and rural development [62]. The road network is one indicator to measure the sustainability of urban deployment for urban areas and for new urban development areas [63]. This uncoordinated and unplanned urban growth along the periphery of the metropolitan area causes shrinkage of agricultural land and environmental resources [64].…”

Metropolitan Urban Mamminasata South Sulawesi, Indonesia as the object of study is explored in the core-peripheral spatial interaction towards the formation of suburban service centers. The problems raised in this study are (i) is there a relationship/correlation between spatial integration, spatial interaction, and urban agglomeration to the formation of urban activity systems and (ii) how the formation of urban activity systems works as a determinant of economic growth, land use change and environmental quality degradation towards sustainable development in the metropolitan city of Mamminasata. Comparative studies of suburban areas have been carried out over three time periods (2001, 2015 and 2019). Data elaboration on observations, surveys and documentation is done to describe urban dynamics in terms of economic, social and environmental aspects. Path analysis is used to address direct effects, indirect effects, differences, and dependencies between urban elements. The gravity model is used to analyze the spatial interactions of the core city with the periphery. The study results show that spatial integration, spatial interaction and urban agglomeration have a positive effect on the system of urban activity and economic growth in the outskirts of the Mamminasata Metropolitan area. The results of this study recommend policy makers and urban planners that land use change, spatial integration and urban spatial interactions on the spatial scale of metropolitan cities to require the implementation of sustainable development concepts oriented towards saving the environment, ensuring fairness in economic access and creating social cohesion, in line with meeting national Metropolitan city development targets by 2030.

“…Following on from the above, SI is clearly an essential cornerstone of SC development. Chourabi et al (2012), Nam and Pardo (2011) and Soyinka et al (2016) also highlighted the importance of SI in developing SCs and achieving sustainable urban development, while addressing current urban challenges. According to Hoult et al (2009), SI is required to be developed and managed in a way that ensures safe and efficient operation, which delivers the functional requirement of the infrastructure.…”

“…SI is defined as an interconnected network of basic facilities and services with efficient land use pattern, transportation network and coordinated information technology devices (Litman, 2017). According to Soyinka et al (2016), "SI is a structure of basic facilities and services that are interconnected and driven by technologies" (p. 55). To develop SI, specific forms of smart ICT, such as building information modelling (BIM) software, asset management system (AMS) and intelligent transport systems (ITS) could be utilised (Albino et al, 2015;Yigitcanlar, 2015).…”

PurposeRising human aspirations leading to rapid urbanisation, amidst climate changes and other environmental pressures have aggravated the needs for better-focused sustainable urban development in general as well as for smart and sustainable cities in particular. Indeed, smart infrastructure (SI) development is a prerequisite for smart cities (SCs). However, inadequate funding and expertise for such SI development pose profound challenges that may be partially addressed by mobilising private finance and efficiencies through collaborative public–private partnership (PPP) models. This paper provides a holistic review and analysis of the relevant literature, as a basis for proposing such PPP models for developing SI.Design/methodology/approachA systematic literature review helped to fulfil the aim of this paper in the first phase of the underlying longer-term study. Authoritative search engines like Scopus and Web of Science indexed articles were reviewed and analysed, 85% of these being journal articles.FindingsSCs that necessarily include SI are important in overcoming current urban challenges in developing and developed countries. Given shortfalls in traditional procurement and funding models, special PPP models are required for SI development. After identifying the relevant needs, drivers, barriers and challenges in different countries, a general indicative framework is developed to illustrate how the various interacting force fields can be harnessed to develop the envisaged PPP models that can complement non-PPP procurement models.Originality/valuePPP for SI development is a relatively new, hence, under-researched topic. This desktop review and analysis provide a useful launching pad for the development of SI through overcoming the potential challenges in traditional procurement and financial models.
