“…It is expected that such projects represent a relatively low level of cost effectiveness. It is thus important to plan and design the financing arrangements and payment mechanisms that will provide sufficient incentives for private sector partners to join (Häkkine et al , 2019). In other words, a series of measures or mechanisms need to be in place to ensure that economic sustainability is guaranteed.…”

“…For example, in district-scale energy refurbishment initiatives, some present residents used the funds received from redeveloping the land they owned as equity to finance the low-energy upgrades to existing dwellings. Energy refurbishment can also be linked to urban planning by simultaneous infill building based on land sale for development purposes (Häkkinen et al , 2019).…”

PurposeCities are facing challenges with their smart city agenda due to tighter budget constraints, varied interests of different stakeholders and increasing needs of technological innovation. Therefore, cities are partnering with private organisations to advance smart city projects. This research critically analyses the existing research published on public-private partnerships (PPPs) for the development of smart city projects and aims to identify the emerging themes and recommend mechanisms and strategies for improved use of smart city PPPs.Design/methodology/approachThe content/textual analysis was conducted on 52 research publications relating to PPP and smart city from 2001 to 2020. With the assistance of the Leximancer software, the related literature was systematically analysed and synthesised to present the emerging themes of PPP application within the smart city context.FindingsThe analyses reveal that smart city PPPs mainly concentrated on building new or improving existing infrastructure. The research identifies five themes on PPP application for smart city development: (1) Technological innovation integration and increased risk profile, (2) Smart citizen engagement and participatory governance, (3) Data sharing and information security, (4) Transformation of PPP process and approach and (5) PPPs for urban sustainability. This research consolidates these five themes in a proposed sustainable public-private-people partnership (PPPP) framework.Originality/valueThis research provides a new perspective on rethinking the extant PPP models by highlighting the emerging themes in the PPP application for smart city development. This study provides useful recommendations for smart city infrastructure project partnership and engagement among the public and private sectors, and the city residents.

“…The study points out that the direct economic revenue from selling building permit can be used to cover renovation costs of the building. This is actually a remarkable benefit, as infill development has been recognized as an important means to finance energy refurbishment of buildings (Kuronen et al, 2011) and also district scale refurbishment (Häkkinen et al, 2019). Also, although no upward motion of prices of surrounding housing of infill development was observed, neither was there a negative price effect.…”

“…The lessons learnt within the nine case studies and the references given above point out the need for more applicable business models to the district scale. This broader approach requires a facilitator, a clearly defined and mandated agent to coordinate and lead in a collaboratively way all the processes with a district perspective (D'Oca et al, 2019;Häkkinen, Ala-Juusela, Mäkeläinen, & Jung, 2019).…”

Renovation at district scale is a key strategy to reduce CO 2 emissions by optimising the implementation of renewable energy sources and taking advantage of economy of scale. This paper focuses on analysing good practice examples on energy renovations at district scale. The paper adapts a qualitative research methodology in four phases, including the multi-perspective analysis of nine exemplary renovation projects in six European countries, including identification of drivers and barriers of different stakeholders.It is found that the drivers for a district renovation are not restricted to energy savings, but typically also include improving the overall quality of life as well as the image and economic value of a district. Moreover, the need for financial models that can alleviate split-incentive problems between investors and resident organizations is identified.Barriers for carrying out a district renovation include that there is a need to comply with energy standards, that the renovation scope had to be limited to avoid a noticeable rent increase and that resettling of tenants during the renovation is often not possible.Lessons learned include that good communication amongst the different stakeholders, especially with residents, plays a key role for the success of the project. Furthermore, a strong leadership is needed to coordinate activities due to the great number of stakeholders.
