“…, 2022; Carvalho, 2015; Oh et al ., 2016). City characteristics, reflecting the quality of life through cultural and educational amenities, social cohesion, a healthy environment, personal safety and housing, exhibit a compelling influence on the business establishment and the promotion of female entrepreneurship (Hughes et al ., 2012; Shayan and Kim, 2023; Strohmeyer et al ., 2017). Notably, this phenomenon is particularly pronounced in cities with elevated levels of smart living practices over time.…”

“…As urbanization continues to shape the global landscape, understanding the nuanced dynamics between female entrepreneurship, urban liveability and the technological underpinnings of smart cities becomes imperative. This convergence of economic, social and technological domains holds potential for synergistic growth, where fostering female entrepreneurship aligns with the goals of creating sustainable and inclusive urban ecosystems (Faggian et al ., 2007; Nguyen, 2021; Shayan and Kim, 2023). However, to fully grasp the intricacies of this interplay, it is essential to develop a comprehensive theoretical framework that encapsulates the multifaceted dimensions of this relationship.…”

“…However, to fully grasp the intricacies of this interplay, it is essential to develop a comprehensive theoretical framework that encapsulates the multifaceted dimensions of this relationship. Such a framework would not only provide a clearer lens through which to analyze the interaction but also offer actionable insights for policymakers, urban planners and stakeholders invested in JSBED 31,8 fostering entrepreneurial ecosystems within the context of evolving smart cities (Allen, 2022;Rahmayanti et al, 2020;Rosenthal and Strange, 2012;Shayan and Kim, 2023).…”

PurposeThis study aims to investigate the synergies between the economic environment and the smart living dimension embedded in the current smart city initiatives, focusing on the localization of female entrepreneurship in contemporary cities. This interaction is under-investigated and controversial as it includes cities' practices enabling users and citizens to develop their potential and build their own lives, affecting entrepreneurial and economic outcomes. Building upon the perspective of the innovation ecosystems, this study focuses on the impact of smart living dimensions and R&D investments on the localization of female entrepreneurial activities.Design/methodology/approachThe study uses a Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) and a panel dataset that considers 30 Italian smart city projects for 12 years to demonstrate the relationship between smart living practices in cities and the localization of female entrepreneurship. The complementary effect of public R&D investment is also included as a driver in the “smart” city transition.FindingsThe study found that the advancement of smart living practices in cities drives the localization of female entrepreneurship. The study highlights the empirical results, the interaction over the years and a current overview through choropleth maps. The public R&D investment also affects this relationship.Practical implicationsThis study advances the theoretical discussion on (1) female entrepreneurial intentions, (2) smart city advancement (as a context) and (3) smart living dimension (as a driver) and offers valuable insight for governance and policymakers.Social implicationsThis study offers empirical contributions to the preliminary academic debate on enterprise development and smart city trajectories at the intersection between human-based practices and female entrepreneurship.Originality/valueThis study offers empirical contributions to the preliminary academic debate on enterprise development and smart city trajectories at the intersection between human-based practices and female entrepreneurship. The findings provide valuable insights into the localization of female entrepreneurship in the context of smart cities.

“…With the emergence of Smart Cities, which are defined by cutting-edge technology and datadriven urban planning, there is a revolutionary chance to improve inclusive participation, engage the community, and solve the many problems that contemporary urban areas confront [1]- [5]. In this era of digital connectedness and urbanization, social network analysis combined with community engagement testing becomes a critical tool for evaluating, promoting, and optimizing citizen-urban interaction.…”

This study, carried out in the ever-changing context of Smart Cities, reveals the complex interactions of digital social networks, digital community involvement, and the Community involvement Test (CET) framework. The examination of data obtained from certain Smart Cities indicates a thriving milieu of community engagement, characterized by a markedly elevated rate of active participation. The identification of urgent issues, particularly those related to environmental sustainability, safety, traffic management, and educational quality, is consistent with the larger urban difficulties that these creative urban centers are facing. Additionally, the CET framework's integration of SNA data and survey results produces very high ratings, indicating the engagement programs' outstanding performance in promoting resident satisfaction and active involvement. These results highlight how digital technologies can help Smart Cities foster vibrant, engaged communities. They also highlight the continued need for smart urban policies to address urgent issues and maintain residents' quality of life while adhering to the Smart City paradigm.

“…However, despite the fact that the development of smart cities has achieved acceptance by a large part of society as a means to mitigate various problems derived from growing urban development, there is also concern that with the arrival of new digital technologies cities will have to face other types of problems, such as the leakage of confidential information [6], the social risks that may arise such as social exclusion [7], the permanent rejection of technology by certain sectors of society and discontent in the face of an inequitable social impact [8].…”

The “smart city” concept was born with the aim of providing an urban complex that allows society to achieve greater well-being and a better quality of life through greater efficiency of public services and its infrastructure through digital technologies. However, today society not only demands to improve its current well-being, but also cares about that of future generations, in such a way that smart cities must consider sustainability as an integral part of their development and evolution. Therefore, the aim of this chapter is to determine the impact of digital technologies implemented in smart cities on the social, environmental, economic and institutional dimensions of sustainable development and thus promote urban development that is not only smart but also sustainable, taking as reference dimensions evaluated by indices worldwide.
