Smart urban governance in smart city

Abstract

Nowadays, smart city has received a great attention of many countries around the world as a holistic strategy and potential trend for effective urban development that could help to solve a wide range of current urban issues such as population growth, productive land-use, overloaded infrastructure, traffic congestion, social division, etc. While the application of information and communication technology (ICT) was commonly mentioned as hardware aspect integrated in urban infrastructure system of a smart city, particularly around the early 1990s when the ICTs first reached a broad public attention in European countries, in recent years countries supporting a comprehensive approach frequently have considered and complemented the concept of smart city with a software interpretation related to smart vision, smart governance and smart community in order to obtain high quality of life and improve environmental quality. The article discusses smart urban governance - a vital pillar of smart city that addresses urban issues and dynamic collaborations between urban actors towards “smarter” urban growth in the 4.0 era.

A framework for integrating intelligent transportation systems with smart city infrastructure

“…Barcelona has also introduced a smart parking system that uses sensors to guide drivers to available parking spots, reducing traffic caused by vehicles searching for parking. The city's approach focuses on using technology to improve urban mobility, environmental sustainability, and citizen engagement (Pundir et al, 2022;Quoc Toan and Thi Nhu, 2020). Key strategies:…”

Smart urban management of green space

“…Strategies such as multifunctional design, community participation, innovative financing, and data-based planning have been suggested to overcome these challenges (Khan et al, 2022;Razmjoo et al, 2021). The implementation of smart urban management of green spaces faces its own set of challenges, including the high cost of technology and the need for skilled personnel to operate and maintain systems (Khan et al, 2022;Hasan & Al-Khafaji, 2021;Toan & Nhu, 2020). It is important to note that privacy concerns related to data collection and usage must be addressed to ensure stakeholders' confidence in the systems (Roblek, 2019;Razmjoo et al, 2021).…”

“…For example, the design and layout of green spaces affect their accessibility and usability. Smart green spaces should be meticulously designed with well-planned paths, comfortable seating arrangements, and appropriate lighting to ensure inclusivity and ease of navigation for individuals across all age groups and varying abilities (Toan & Nhu, 2020). In addition to accessibility, the location of green spaces is a crucial determinant for effective smart urban management.…”

“…Smart Urban Management is focused on managing and operating urban systems, including transportation, water and waste management, energy, and public services (Khan et al, 2022). Smart Urban Management uses modern technology such as data analytics, machine learning, and other advanced technologies to optimize these systems in real-time, reducing costs, improving efficiency, and enhancing urban residents' overall quality of life (Toan & Nhu, 2020;Danilina & Majorzadehzahiri, 2020). Smart Urban Management has the potential to revolutionize the way cities are managed and operated, enabling more efficient use of resources, reducing environmental impacts, and improving the overall sustainability of urban areas (Liu et al, 2020).…”
