“…Sustainable development is a concept that involves the integration of social (Kirkby et al, 2023), economic, and environmental factors in order to meet the requirements of the current generation without jeopardising future generations' ability to meet their own needs (Kirkby et al, 2023; Mensah, 2019; Sands, 2023). The sustainable development goals adopted by the United Nations in 2015 (Sadiq et al, 2023) provide a comprehensive framework for addressing global challenges and achieving sustainable development (Martínez‐Falcó et al, 2023).…”

Amidst the rapid urbanisation and increasing calls for sustainable development, this study examines the key drivers and barriers influencing sustainable smart city initiatives in Nigeria. By employing a quantitative approach, the research amalgamates insights from diverse professionals, integrating descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis, and Spearman rank correlation analysis to illuminate the intricate landscape of sustainable smart city development within the Nigerian context. The findings underscore the interconnected nature of various factors, underscoring the imperative of an all‐encompassing approach that synergistically incorporates infrastructure integration, environmental sustainability, efficient governance, social inclusivity, and economic innovation. Furthermore, identifying specific barriers, including challenges related to integrated urban transformation, socioeconomic equity, and governance and infrastructure, highlights the critical need for precise interventions to surmount these obstacles. The implications and recommendations derived from this study emphasise the pivotal role of collaborative endeavours among diverse stakeholders, accentuating the significance of inclusive decision‐making processes, sustainable environmental practices, and equitable economic expansion. The insights gleaned from this research serve as an invaluable resource for policymakers and urban planners, providing a robust groundwork for informed policy formulation and strategic planning to guide sustainable smart city development in Nigeria and other developing nations.

“…W XX w. świat rozpoczął poszukiwania strategii będącej odpowiedzią na dysproporcje w rozwoju społeczeństw, kryzys środowiskowy i degradację zasobów naturalnych czy kryzys niepewności przyszłości dotyczący światowego pokoju i dobrobytu (Kirkby, O'Keefe, & Timberlake, 1995). Zrównoważony rozwój jako koncepcja podkreślająca związek między stanem środowiska i eksploatacją zasobów oraz gospodarką i integracją społeczną spotkał się wówczas z globalną akceptacją.…”

Artykuł koncentruje uwagę na tranzycji miast do zrównoważonego rozwoju, napędzanej technologicznie. Jego celem jest wskazanie istoty bliźniaczej transformacji miast i podejścia do projektowania zrównoważonych miast inteligentnych skoncentrowanego na ludziach na przykładzie wybranych projektów. W artykule przeprowadzono analizę projektów zrealizowanych w Kłodzku, Żurominie i Zduńskiej Woli, sfinansowanych ze środków konkursu skierowanego do jednostek samorządu terytorialnego Human Smart Cities. Inteligentne Miasta współtworzone przez mieszkańców. W projektach wyraźnie zarysowują się i integrują trzy ścieżki tranzycji: technologiczna, ekologiczna oraz społeczna, co wskazuje na realizację postulatu bliźniaczej transformacji. Ponadto proces planowania rozwoju miasta inteligentnego i projektowania rozwiązań miejskich był zorientowany na mieszkańców, uwzględniał ich preferencje i percepcje oraz przebiegał z ich udziałem. Zastosowane metody partycypacji i koprodukcji inteligentnych miejskich rozwiązań zostały dopasowane do kompetencji cyfrowych mieszkańców.

“…It's not merely a trend but a massive step toward healthier environments and better lifestyles (El-Ghonaimy, 2010; Abouelela, 2021). It's a development that addresses the demands of both current and future generations (Kirkby et al, 1995). Sustainability incorporates crucial characteristics that most inhabitants strive for in their home designs combined in three pillars: Social, Economic, and Environment.…”

Research problem and purpose: Residents’ modifications in subsidized housing are a widespread phenomenon in Bahrain. Households begin to modify their allocated residential units as soon as they receive them, resulting in financial burdens and an aesthetic loss of the uniform physical appearance. This research aims to identify the issues leading to residents’ modifications in Bahraini subsidized housing units.Materials and methods: Literature indicates that this phenomenon is closely related to resident behaviors. Thus, the study presents a conceptual framework that examines the similarities and differences in residents’ behaviors in subsidized housing. Accordingly, the study employed the qualitative approach and was conducted in two phases. The first phase investigated common resident behaviors through structured interviews with twelve experts involved in the modification process. The second phase used the case study strategy with three selected cases from the East Hidd housing project to examine the different behaviors related to residents’ lifestyles. It included on-site observations, plan analysis, and structured interviews with householders using the AIO approach.Results: The findings revealed general and specific issues that lead to residents' modifications. The general issues represent common behaviors for most residents and are usually associated with the prior-occupancy stage. They include residents’ preference for simple modern designs with spacious living rooms and bedrooms, trendy modern materials, and large windows; residents’ need for sustainable housing units that incorporate all three aspects of sustainability, particularly the socio-cultural, which is related to factors like privacy, hospitality, and the aesthetics and distinction of houses; and the damages resulting from the improper practices of residents that mainly revolve around excluding the experts and involving the unqualified in the modifications process. The specific issues represent families’ different behaviors and are usually associated with the post-occupancy stage. Those include residents’ need to modify their houses according to their lifestyles, which appeared in the guest room, the courtyard, and the interior divisions of the extended bedroom.Conclusion: Considering both issues while designing future projects helps create flexible units that satisfy the needs of the majority while allowing for modifications at any time. This, in turn, helps reduce and streamline the modification process.
