“…A growing body of studies has explored evaluation and value in urban design (Carmona et al 2001;Carmona, De Magalhães, and Edwards 2002;Chiaradia, Sieh, and Plimmer 2017), urban planning (Oliveira and Pinho 2010) urban regeneration (Tyler et al 2013) and innovation and technology policy studies (Arnold 2004;Edler et al 2012). The UK Government's Green Book provides guidance on project and programme evaluation, including techniques to assess the economic, financial, social and environmental benefits and costs of urban design, development and innovation, with attention to different stakeholder interests (HM Treasury 2013).…”

Smart city developments integrate digital, human and physical systems in the built environment. With growing urbanization and widespread developments, identifying suitable evaluation methodologies is important. Case-study research across five UK cities-Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester, Milton Keynes and Peterborough revealed that city evaluation approaches were principally projectfocused with city-level evaluation plans at early stages. Key challenges centred on selecting suitable evaluation methodologies to evidence urban value and outcomes, addressing city authority requirements. Recommendations for evaluation design draw on urban studies and measurement frameworks, capitalizing on big data opportunities and developing appropriate, valid, credible integrative approaches across projects, programmes and city-level developments.

Abstract. The article is devoted to ways of interaction between authorities and residents of the megalopolis based on the penetration of intelligent systems and technologies in the sector of the city, aimed at improving the life's quality in the "smart city."The results of studies that allow us to offer include interactive services that enable residents of the metropolis to organize cooperation with the city administration; in the technology foresight study prospects of urban infrastructure development are given. An attempt was made to present the conceptual foundations of strategic foresight. Materials of article are of practical value and can be used by preparation of actions for increase in information availability to residents of the megalopolis of quality and variety of the rendered services.

“…These interactions suggests that, when it comes to evaluating the success of policy instruments, it is important to take into account the entire policy mix, as several policy instruments simultaneously target (or affect) the same actors, and thus observed outcomes are the result of the combined effect of several policies. So far, typical evaluations focus on individual policy instruments in isolation, without considering how different instruments interact within a policy mix (Borrás and Laatsit, 2018;Edler et al, 2012). Greater efforts are necessary to move towards evaluation methods that consider the combined effects of policy instruments, as well as potential redundancies, contradictions and remaining problems that could be addressed with new instruments (Edler et al, 2008;Magro and Wilson, 2013).This could be done by more systematic evaluations of entire policy mixes and by introducing, within the templates used to evaluate individual policy instruments, a specific section that focusses on their interaction with the broader policy mix.…”

Countries deploy a variety of financial, regulatory and soft policy instruments to promote science-industry knowledge exchange. While these instruments are often discussed in isolation, they are implemented collectively and may reinforce and complement but also weaken or even negatively affect each other and add excessive complexity. This paper develops a conceptual framework to map policy instruments for knowledge exchange and assess the interactions between them. The framework also considers how national contexts and global trends influence the choice of policy instruments. Policy examples drawn from the EC-OECD STIP Compass database and from case studies show that there are significant differences across countries in the relative importance given to each policy instrument in terms of budget, target groups, eligibility criteria, time horizon and implementation. These differences are also a consequence of different country conditions.
