“…This is because to achieve sustainable and inclusive smart cities, a concerted effort is required to bridge these gaps and ensure that technological growth benefits all parts of the metropolitan population, leaving no one behind (Allam et al, 2022). This finding is in tandem with conclusion of De Azambuja (2021). Table 3 also shows the significant p ‐values associated with each driver and barrier, as determined by the Kruskal‐Wallis test.…”

Amidst the rapid urbanisation and increasing calls for sustainable development, this study examines the key drivers and barriers influencing sustainable smart city initiatives in Nigeria. By employing a quantitative approach, the research amalgamates insights from diverse professionals, integrating descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis, and Spearman rank correlation analysis to illuminate the intricate landscape of sustainable smart city development within the Nigerian context. The findings underscore the interconnected nature of various factors, underscoring the imperative of an all‐encompassing approach that synergistically incorporates infrastructure integration, environmental sustainability, efficient governance, social inclusivity, and economic innovation. Furthermore, identifying specific barriers, including challenges related to integrated urban transformation, socioeconomic equity, and governance and infrastructure, highlights the critical need for precise interventions to surmount these obstacles. The implications and recommendations derived from this study emphasise the pivotal role of collaborative endeavours among diverse stakeholders, accentuating the significance of inclusive decision‐making processes, sustainable environmental practices, and equitable economic expansion. The insights gleaned from this research serve as an invaluable resource for policymakers and urban planners, providing a robust groundwork for informed policy formulation and strategic planning to guide sustainable smart city development in Nigeria and other developing nations.

“…A total of 57 drivers and 63 barriers were found in the analysis of the 169 papers, mentioned, respectively, by 149 and 109 records. The results of the systematic literature review, which included 169 papers, are detailed in [47]. Combining the drivers and barriers from the social, economic, environmental, and urban infrastructure dimensions and translating those results into the context of the roadmap development, we defined 30 challenges of smart sustainable city development.…”

Building smart sustainable cities initiatives requires governance capacity, which is constantly challenged by a diversity of actors and the transformation towards a digital society; however, the process of identifying the conditions for building a smart sustainable city (SSC) is not straightforward. As an attempt to map the key governance conditions, the goal of this study is to suggest guidelines for the development of SSC initiatives in the format of a generic roadmap. This research applies design science research methodology and builds the roadmap based on identified antecedents that may hinder or facilitate the development of SSC initiatives from a systematic literature review and the analysis of key governance aspects from 12 smart city initiatives in Europe and Latin America. This paper builds its results through a four-step approach including: (1) defining the main concepts and dimensions within the smart sustainable city context; (2) identifying sustainability challenges for the development of smart sustainable city initiatives; (3) analysing key governance aspects from smart sustainable city initiatives; and (4) designing an actionable research-based roadmap and practical recommendations. The resulting roadmap contains 11 key governance conditions for developing strategies for smart sustainable city initiatives that were classified into three main phases: (1) planning; (2) implementing; and (3) adopting, monitoring, and evaluating. In terms of contribution, this research provides a tool to support the development of initiatives, addressing sustainability challenges and strengthening governance capacity to ensure the long-term impacts of smart sustainable cities.

“…There are many factors that play a role in designing and achieving this balance, including policy, the current city state, future plans and goals, the social context, ecological and biodiversity aspects, and more. The dimensions for a smart sustainable city (SSC) were narrowed in [31] down to five dimensions, which are the three pillars for sustainability (environment, economy, society), urban infrastructure, and governance.…”

Transformation towards smart sustainable cities requires transitioning and modernising urban infrastructure systems. This study builds upon previous work and recommendations to address the need for a holistic and comprehensive framework to guide the planning, development, and management of smart sustainable infrastructure transitions. Existing approaches and methods regarding city and infrastructure transitioning were reviewed to draw up an understanding of, the requirements for, and guidelines useful to the design of a conceptual framework. The framework was established through synthesis of the knowledge and insight gathered from the literature. A collective case study analysis was used to verify the theoretical framework and make adaptations to successfully address any shortcomings. The framework was then also subjected to a validation process testing the appropriateness of the framework’s design using a Delphi technique and industry experts. After adapting the framework based on the feedback from experts, all of them were certain the framework would hold up in practice. The framework is intended as a generic guideline useful to municipal managers, city planners, and project portfolio managers appointed to plan, direct, and manage the transition of an existing city towards a smart sustainable city.
