Stakeholder Analysis For Smart City Development Project: An Extensive Literature Review

Abstract

The current trend in urban planning has been evolved for developing the cities smart. Smart city concept directs urban development in to a strategic path to achieve sustainability in urban development. The understanding made up on the concept of smart city within any region would be fruitful to review in this nature. Similarly, the various stakeholders who would influence and contribute on smart city development projects are profound to identify in order to make the project success. As previous researches denoted, a timely and effective consultation of relevant stakeholders is of paramount importance for the success of any project. In line of thinking, this research was aimed to conduct a stakeholder analysis through a comprehensive literature review. Thirty one (31) key literature projects were obtained from recognised research databases and were critically reviewed to identify the internal and external project stakeholders of smart city development projects. As the key findings, the concept of smart city was first recognised. Secondly, academia and research institutions, local and regional administrations, financial suppliers/investors, energy suppliers, ICT sector representatives, citizens, government, property developers, non-profit organisations, planners, policy makers, experts and scientists, political institutions and media were identified as key internal and external stakeholders of a smart city development project. The key research findings were presented through a conceptual framework. The developed framework could be utilised as a basis to analyse the different influences and contributions of stakeholders of smart city development projects in any context.

Future pathways for energy networks: A review of international experiences in high income countries

“…Difficulties can be foreseen in balancing the need to increase stakeholders' engagement, while aiming to employ non-trivial strategies [241]. Nonetheless, there is evidence that stakeholders impact profoundly on energy planning scenarios [242,243]. Furthermore, stakeholders' views on MVEN and IES approaches were absent from the papers in our review, implying that this could be perceived as less relevant.…”

Emerging technological innovation in Gaza Strip municipalities: an entrepreneurial approach

“…This applies not only to the lack of financial resources, but also to the lack of expertise and staff. Jayasena et al, (2019) identified six strategies to overcome technology innovation challenges in the public sector in addition to the barriers. The researchers found that effective political strategy, the development of relevant policy, human capacity building, stakeholder management, effective communication, and private-public partnership are essential.…”

Quantifying Sustainability and Landscape Performance: A Smart Devices Assisted Alternative Framework
