Smart cities that make broad use of digital technologies have been touted as possible solutions for the population pressures faced by many cities in developing countries and may help meet the rising demand for services and infrastructure. Nevertheless, the high financial cost involved in infrastructure maintenance, the substantial size of the informal economies, and various governance challenges are curtailing government idealism regarding smart cities. This review examines the state of smart city development in developing countries, which includes understanding the conceptualisations, motivations, and unique drivers behind (and barriers to) smarty city development. A total of 56 studies were identified from a systematic literature review from an initial pool of 3928 social sciences literature identified from two academic databases. Data were analysed using thematic synthesis and thematic analysis. The review found that technologyenabled smart cities in developing countries can only be realised when concurrent socioeconomic, human, legal, and regulatory reforms are instituted. Governments need to step up their efforts to fulfil the basic infrastructure needs of citizens, raise more revenue, construct clear regulatory frameworks to mitigate the technological risks involved, develop human capital, ensure digital inclusivity, and promote environmental sustainability. A supportive ecosystem that encourages citizen participation, nurtures start-ups, and promotes public-private partnerships needs to be created to realise their smart city vision.

“…The concept of “smart cities” was conceived in International Business Machines (IBM) Corporation, an information technology company. IBM’s Chief Executive Officer Mr Samuel J. Palmisano carried forward this concept of Smart Earth in the Round Table in January 2009 (Vadgama et al , 2015). The idea is that the smart planet creation is expected to lead a new generation of acknowledged economic investment because the scheme on information superhighway has received comprehensive and positive confirmation around the world.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to outline the generic concepts and learning about smart cities and capture the varied perspectives of winning case examples in India. An attempt is made in the paper to study the available literature about smart cities and structure them into a synoptic framework of planning, design and implementation.Design/methodology/approachThis paper has followed a case study approach and complied multi-facet 18 features of 99 winners of “100 Smart Cities Mission” in India to showcase trends and developments of tomorrow. These multi-facet features collectively provide a heterogeneous view of the future potentials of smart cities in India.FindingsFindings of this research can contribute to shaping a number significant learning of different aspects of policy formation in India with respect to smart cities in view of the sensitivity of citizen participation in the individualized society of information age.Research limitations/implicationsThe results and learning of this study have not been verified empirically through a survey and they are based on qualitative incidences in the submitted proposal. Further, the state of this paper is generic and there is a lack of city-specific context specification except for some illustrations of success stories and upcoming innovative projects.Practical implicationsThis paper provides a better understanding of current practices fulfilling featured requirements of smart cities to identify opportunities for improvement based on the current state of the debate.Social implicationsThe development of smart cities in India is expected to play an outstanding role in shaping the world of tomorrow. Although the focus of this development is on the actual needs and requirements of today; however, some trends and predictions of the future society can also be identified.Originality/valueThis paper is the original attempt to set the definition of developing and replicating smart cities in India based on decisive parameters and it contributes to meet challenges of urban planning.

“…3-City Redevelopment Model: replace the buildup infrastructure with new one considering the sustainable requirements. 4-City Extension Model: determine the potential urban extension trends of the city, therefore support the current infrastructure in these directions to accommodate this potential future extension, which will have a significant impact on reducing the total cost of potential urban extension phases, starting from the planning, implementation, and maintenance phase [10].…”

The relationship between urban sustainability of new smart cities and infrastructure projects has become integrated, and reflects the country's progress and prosperity, smart infrastructure projects classified in two main categories, the first is upgrading or retrofitting the built-up infrastructure and provide it with smart solutions, the second is establishing a new infrastructure for new urban sprawl or replace the built-up infrastructure with new one to cope with the global population increase. The concept of smart infrastructure is derived from the idea of the smart city which is described as a comprehensive system with different elements such as stakeholders, environment, economy, mobility, and living conditions of a given geographical space with efficient information communication technology (ICTs). Therefore, Stakeholders is one of the main success factors of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in smart infrastructure projects, Hence, studying and analyzing stakeholders role in smart infrastructure projects through PPPs concept will decrease opposition leading to a non or ineffective implementation of the project as a result of the gap between the expectations of different stakeholders involved in PPPs on the desired process or outcome of the project. The presented study aims to establish a successful PPPs for smart infrastructure project phases with presenting a clear image of stakeholder's roles, and highlights PPPs challenges, characteristics, state's models, and agreements methods, especially with the high cost of these projects, to reach a set of recommendations aid to improve efficiency, quality, and affordable costs to achieve a sustainability whether in retrofitting or in the new urban sprawl.
