“…Firstly, the models bring about the presence of non-specified factors (e.g., political) in the decision about a successful green or smart city. Multi-and inter-disciplinary criteria may complicate the interpretation of greenness and smartness concepts (see for example, [107]). Secondly, there appears a lack of knowledge or experience about how a successful green or smart city is constituted, and therefore a mixed perception of green-and-smart attributes is the largest factor.…”

“…Caragliu [20] suggested six important criteria for building a smart city, which indicated that it does not rely only on the persuasive use of ICT but on an all-round consideration of urban sustainability. Nijkamp [107] also summarized the common characteristics of a smart city that had reiterated in many previous findings, where multi-and inter-disciplinary criteria were clear presented and considered.…”

Cities often thematize themselves as attractive and sustainable places by adopting some emerging concepts of urban development. Green city and smart city are two of these themes that contain distinctive but often overlapping attributes. These green and smart city attributes, as proposed in previous studies, are tested with a sample of Hong Kong residents (n = 243). This paper identifies the factors in a combined green-smart theme of Hong Kong based on local perception. The empirical results confirm that local residents believe Hong Kong is performing smarter than greener. The findings from factor analysis reveal a combined green-smart structure consisting of one mixed green-smart infrastructural elements and six other specific factors about greenness or smartness. Regression also builds up two models showing the locally-perceived determinants of a successful green city and smart city for Hong Kong, respectively. This study reflects a complexity-simplicity paradox of how decision makers should respond to a knowledge-perception gap. The result further confirms that human factor, including the engagement and the quality of societal actors, is the key to successful green and smart urban development.

“…The formation of creative clusters must be accompanied by the construction of lines of action to make the factors of development, enabled by the cluster, consistent with the identity and sustainable growth of the city (Nijkamp and Perrels, 1994;Richards, 2006;Sacco and Tavano Blessi, 2005). Creative resources are usually more sustainable than physical ones: monuments and museums are inevitably subject to degradation, while creative resources are constantly renewable.…”

“…An earlier practice analysis by Berke and Conroy [66] in 30 American cities reveal that no significant differences in how extensively sustainability principles are supported between the plans that state an intention to integrate sustainable urban development and those that do not. However, in recent years, planning efforts of many local governments from Europe, North America and Australia have figured out new and innovative ways to better integrate sustainability principles, technologies and frameworks in their planning schemes [67][68][69][70]. Furthermore, some efforts-with limited success so far-are also put in place in the context of developing countries including China, Korea, Malaysia, Turkey, and Vietnam [71][72][73][74].…”

Cities are the most dramatic manifestations of human activities on the surface of the earth. These human-dominated organisms-i.e., cities-degrade natural habitats, simplify species composition, disrupt hydrological systems, and modify energy flow and nutrient cycling. Today, these consequential impacts of human activities, originated from population increase, rapid urbanization, high private motor vehicle dependency, deregulated industrialization and mass livestock production, are increasing exponentially and causing great deal of environmental, social, and economic challenges both at global and local scales. In such a situation, establishment of sustainable cities, through sustainable urban development practices, is seen as a potential panacea to combat these challenges responsibly, effectively, and efficiently. This paper offers a critical review of the key literature on the issues relating to planning, development and management of sustainable cities, introduces the contributions from the Special Issue, and speculates on the prospective research directions to place necessary mechanisms to secure a sustainable urban future for all.
