To achieve Sustainable Development Goals, Indonesia can apply the concept of smart city as a solution to the shifting primarily rural to a primarily urban population. However, until now, Indonesia has not had any legal regulations that specifically regulate Smart City. This study examines the urgency of the legal basis governing smart cities in Indonesia in accelerating sustainable development in Indonesia. Researchers found that the absence of legal regulations hampered the development of smart cities in Indonesia. Legal regulations legitimize smart cities as a policy that must be obeyed, measured and directed. So, if there is a change of leadership both at the central and regional levels, the Smart Cities policy will continue. This is even more urgent when Indonesia, as dominated civil law system country, has substantial strength to legally bind smart city regulations as a legal basis for policy-making.

“…São José, Faria and Vale (2021) show that in the case of smart-energy communities, coordination between different private and public actors with competing interests and responsibilities is needed. The need to establish coordination, responsibility, and ownership rules is important to accommodate some of the market failures associated with smart city initiatives that can arise due to regulatory problems, entry barriers, or information asymmetries (Gasiola et al 2019). Market failures in urban policy can cause inequalities and increased risks.…”

Community-level interventions through technological updates and connectedness are quite popular within smart city visions. These interventions, under the collective label of smart and connected communities (SCC), promise to increase technology access, services, and the sense of entrepreneurship and organization at the community level. This paper addresses the lack of academic research investigating SCC with regard to its merits and linkages to the debate on smart cities. It reviews the academic literature on conceptions, constituents, and enablers of SCC. It highlights SCC as a concept with more issues and complexity than conventional smart city projects, particularly with regard to soft or human-related factors. While SCC is associated with diverse objectives, there are some basic elements of SCC projects such as a common direction, digitalization, optimization, better services, and participation. This paper also presents a range of critical factors and enablers based on previous studies. These factors include the features of communities and services as well as collaborative and institutional mechanisms. This paper shows the importance of the planning and design tasks in initiating SCC interventions. When designing successful and context-specific SCC projects, it is important to address the contextual environment of SCC through an informed SCC project design. This is particularly relevant for (ill-defined) communities with unconducive institutional context or no cooperation legacies. The success of SCC often depends on engagement and change management within communities as well as the development of context-specific, and often iterative, project designs.
