This paper presents the application of a Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) method for the ranking of smart cities. During the construction of the MCDM techniques, the importance of the decision-making approach for the linear ordering of 66 Polish cities with powiat status was presented. The Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) was used for evaluation. The method has been verified by applying it to measure urban smartness. The TOPSIS method allowed compilation for a final ranking, taking into account publicly available indicators of the smart cities concept. The work uses data from the Local Data Bank Polish Central Statistical Office (LDB). The author conducted a literature review of research papers related to smart cities and MCDM methods dated from 2010 to 2020. Based on calculations using the TOPSIS method, the results obtained that the city of Krakow has the highest value to become a smart city.

“…There is an enormous difference in category size between different studies, and the size varies from 18 (Feleki et al, 2020) to 4 (Choon et al, 2011). Many studies did not conceptualize urban sustainability into categories (Lewandowska & Szymanska, 2021;Shmelev & Shmeleva, 2018). This phenomenon leads to a fundamental problem: which themes should a dimension contain to be fully and comprehensively conceptualized?…”

For example, in terms of the water consumption per capita, some measured the industrial amount (Lewandowska & Szymanska, 2021), some measured the domestic amount (Altamirano-Avila & Martinez, 2021;Carli et al, 2018;Kilkis, 2016), and some measured the total amount.…”

Urban development plays a role in global progress, but its sustainability is still a pressing issue. Indicators are a kind of powerful tool for addressing issues about urban sustainability and have gained increasing attention. However, making them become a universal "language" to solve this global issue is still challenging and controversial. This paper firstly summarizes 1442 indicators in the previous 47 urban sustainability studies. Then, based on the discussion of deficiencies in framing, conceptualizing, labeling, and digitalizing urban sustainability, we propose challenges facing indicators to become a universal language for sustainable urban development. Accordingly, this paper calls for an indicator dictionary, established by a particular global organization, constructed standardized and applied localized.

“…There is no doubt that the global economy and its regions are slowly shifting towards a low-carbon path at a pace that varies between both continents and individual countries, depending on their level of development, demographic, social, cultural factors (Frantál & Nováková, 2019 ) and progresses achieved in advancing currently available energy technologies and its efficiency, as well as on the ability to maintain sustainable financing of this transition (Cowell, 2020 ). Central European countries, including Poland, are to participate in this process both as the members of the international community, signatories to the Climate Convention agreed in Madrid in 2019 and as the member states of the European Union (EU) under the Community regime of energy and climate regulations (Böhringer & Rutherford, 2013 ; Lewandowska & Szymańska, 2021 ; Piwowar, 2019 ; Schwartzkopff & Schulz, 2017 ; Wiśniewski & Kistowski, 2017 ). The transition toward a more sustainable low-carbon economy requires indeed radical changes in the systems supplying energy for individuals, communities, and businesses (Chappell et al, 2020 ).…”

The leverage of the public narrative created and maintained by the media as a highly influential social actor is decisive, but also sensitive, in bringing about the energy transition and advancing towards a low-carbon economy. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has potential to slow down and deform the public acceptance of the above-mentioned processes as it is likely that the priorities of individual governments will be revisited and tailored to tackle the ongoing health crisis. We are replying to such a threat with this study that aims to reflect on the immense role of media in shaping a low-carbon economy in transitional economies. We are using Poland as an illustrative example to demonstrate how wide, colourful, and sometimes even confusing the low-carbon narrative might be. By means of employing the horizon scanning of the diverse types of media, we detected that media overwhelmingly affect and deform the ongoing discussions about the nuances of energy transition and benefits a low-carbon economy. We argue that political preferences of individual journalists (and publishing houses) in Poland tend to influence the style, depth, extent, and quality how the topic is covered and narrated.
