“…This paper's contribution to the literature consists in the development of the concept of university management by clarifying the specifics of the influence of university management on the implementation of the social and investment model of economic growth in developing countries. This paper rethought, from the position of the SDGs, and described the connection with education management and the target results of its contribution to the implementation of the social and investment model of economic growth: an increase in knowledge-intensive employment (in support of Hrivnák et al, 2021;Markowska et al, 2022); development of medium-tech and hi-tech manufacturing (strengthening the factual base Dyakov et al, 2022;Taleb and Pheniqi, 2023); development of e-participation: (in support of Quintana et al, 2022;Bouregh et al, 2023).…”

“…− Increase in knowledge-intensive employment for the fullest unlocking of human potential to support SDG 8 (decent work and economic growth based on the "knowledge society"; Hrivnák et al, 2021;Markowska et al, 2022); − Development of medium-tech and hi-tech manufacturing to strengthen the digital competitiveness of the economy and to improve its positions in the world markets under the conditions of the Fourth Industrial Revolution to support SDG 9 (Dyakov et al, 2022;Taleb and Pheniqi, 2023); − Development of e-participation: more active involvement of wide groups of the population in the implementation of socially (Quintana et al, 2022;Bouregh et al, 2023).…”

et al. 2023

The purpose of this paper is to determine the directions and to specify the infrastructural role of higher education in the social and investment model of economic growth in view of the specifics and perspectives of emerging economies. Correlation analysis is used to determine the dependence between the directions of higher education’s development and the target results of its contribution to the implementation of the social and investment model of economic growth in emerging economies. These connections are specified with the help of regression analysis. Then, the simplex method is used to determine target landmarks for the selected directions. According to the experience of the top emerging economies with the highest level of economic innovative development in 2020, maximization (up to 100%) of knowledge-intensive employment (+299.29%), medium-tech and hi-tech manufacturing (+223.42%) and e-participation (+19.98%) requires the increase in the number of students per 1 lecturer in higher education by 387.26%, growth of mobility in higher education by 1,116.27%, and increase in QS university ranking by 139.13%. It is proved that only three directions of higher education’s development are significant and have to be implemented to support social and investment model of economic growth in emerging economies: increase in the number of students per 1 lecturer in higher education, growth of mobility in higher education, and increase in QS university ranking.

“…Lastly, the initiative to enhance legal education and awareness in Ibb City serves as a reminder of the power of community engagement in urban planning. By educating citizens and stakeholders about legal rights, responsibilities, and planning processes, cities can foster a more participatory and inclusive approach to urban development (Bouregh et al, 2023;Yilmaz & Ertekin, 2023). This not only leads to better compliance with regulations but also ensures that development projects reflect the needs and aspirations of the community.…”

The high rate of population growth led to migration from rural to urban settlements, causing unregulated growth, urban sprawls, and inefficiencies in city planning of developing countries. yet, in regions like Yemen, rapid urbanization poses significant challenges for urban planners. Addressing these challenges, this study proposes an innovative approach to urban planning in the context of Ibb City, Yemen, a region grappling with rapid urbanization and inefficient land use. The study identifies a significant gap in the integration of strategic planning and technological tools in developing urban areas. The study utilized SWOT technology to examine the internal and external factors, the AHP method to prioritize the factors to make them measurable, and GIS geospatial zonal analysis. This integrated approach provides a comprehensive evaluation of internal and external factors affecting urban land use, with a focus on quantifying priorities for sustainable urban development. The study's results offer a detailed assessment of the social, economic, infrastructure, and environmental aspects of Ibb City, highlighting the interaction between these elements in urban planning. Importantly, the findings extend beyond the local context, presenting a scalable and adaptable model for urban planning, particularly in developing countries with similar urban dynamics. The study underscores the critical role of strategic, data-driven planning in fostering sustainable urban environments, offering significant insights and tools for policymakers and urban planners for sustainable urban growth.

“…However, its ambiguous statutory position has led to its sidelining, and the ideas advanced had little reflection in other governmental policies and strategies, as the country is struggling with pressing economic difficulties. Furthermore, considering Iran's theocratic governance system, the lack of public consultation, participation, and other democratic elements are evident in decision-making processes towards climate neutrality (see also Bouregh et al, 2023).…”

Transitioning to climate-neutral cities is difficult in practice, depending on complex urban activities and involving a vast range of stakeholders. Cities need ongoing support for assessing and implementing climate-neutral solutions. Following multi-country, collaborative academic workshops on this topic, we debate the use of new technologies and integrated planning approaches. We contour a preliminary framework underpinned by five key dimensions (urban nature; urban mobility; built form; energy; and circularity), triangulated with three research pillars: 1) citizen engagement, 2) city governance decision-making, supported by 3) digital technology. This essay proposes digital technologies as a bridge between bottom-up and top-down directions, challenges silo-thinking, and informs a cross-disciplinary, integrated climate-neutral planning process (in Europe).
