“…JungHoon Kim (2021) identifies five stages of smart city evolution based on IT development and its application in the literature from 2000 to the present [3]. Mengmeng Wang (2022) et al state that the IT development level also determines the smart city development level and can facilitate sustainable growth in smart cities [7,21]. Furthermore, in a smart city, intelligence and sustainability are interdependent, with each factor influencing the other [21].…”

This paper explores how to improve the sustainability of smart cities from a design perspective, by combining concepts of sustainable design with the Internet of Things and ecosystems. The paper uses a combination of the literature, cases, and model building to develop the research. First, the article analyzes six elements (human, environment, society, economy, and culture) and four dimensions (space, resources, management, and platform) that constitute a sustainable design system for smart cities and constructs a system model based on this analysis; then, the strategy for sustainable design in smart cities is discussed from the perspectives of management and spatial planning by combining CIM and specific cases. The study highlights the importance of prioritizing people and balancing the “people-environment-society-economy-culture” system using technology across the dimensions of management, space, resources, and platform. Moreover, based on the CIM platform, the sustainable design of smart cities can be considered in terms of urban management and spatial planning, enabling people, environment, society, economy, culture, space, resources, and platform to form a smart ecological system and enhance the sustainability of smart cities.

PurposeThis study aims to assess the readiness of both citizens and the government for digital participatory planning (DDP) as a contribution to the undergoing transformative shift toward smart and sustainable cities to address the challenges posed by rapid urbanization. While much attention has been devoted to leveraging technology to mitigate these challenges, there has been a relative lack of emphasis on engaging stakeholders in the planning process in a smart and inclusive manner. DPP stands as a cornerstone for the development of sustainable and smart cities. However, before DPP can be effectively implemented on the ground, it is crucial to assess the city readiness for DPP to ensure its success. This assessment is undertaken as part of Oman's broader initiative to transition into sustainable smart cities in alignment with the goals outlined in Oman Vision 2040.Design/methodology/approachA generic evaluation framework was identified, validated and customized to the local context by experts using the pile sorting technique based on the social constructivism theory. Then, the revised framework was used to evaluate the readiness of a sample of local citizens and government officials in Oman for the DPP concept.FindingsThe inferential statistical analysis revealed that citizens are willing to participate in DPP when trust and transparency with policymakers are enhanced. On the government side, the results showed that there is adequate infrastructure that can enable DPP, and planners have a positive attitude toward DPP provided that trust in citizens' opinions is strengthened. This study concludes with a roadmap for preparation for DPP implementation in smart sustainable cities mandated by Oman Vision 2040. The findings and roadmap can inform policy development, decision-making and urban planning practices toward more inclusive, participatory and technologically enabled urban environments.Originality/valueThe study contributes to the existing body of knowledge by emphasizing the significance of stakeholders' smart involvement in planning processes, social sustainability, evaluating city readiness for DPP and providing practical recommendations for DPP implementation in the context of smart sustainable cities. At a theoretical level, the study contributes a framework for assessing readiness for DPP and emphasizes that mutual trust is not only important for conventional participation practices but it is also essential for smart citizens. This study argues that a building or a city is not sustainable unless it is seen as such by its stakeholders, including the end users. Therefore, effective and smart involvement of the citizens in smart city planning is a precondition for the success of the future cities.

PurposeThis study aims to examine the effects of technology-, organisation- and environment-readiness, smart economic development, change valence, social cohesion and quality of life on citizenship in the context of smart cities.Design/methodology/approachThe study employed a customized questionnaire which was completed by 280 residents of China’s first-tier cities. This study tested the framework using the partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) technique.FindingsThe results indicated that smart economy development, social cohesion, change valence, technological readiness, organizational readiness and environmental readiness have a significant impact on the quality of life. Quality of life has a positive impact on citizenship.Originality/valueThis study adds new insights to smart city academic discussions. The study addresses a critical gap identified in existing literature which urges the need for a balance between user-centric, organization-centric and technology-centric approaches. It offers a fresh perspective on how the smart economy, social cohesion and readiness factors are interlinked. These elements together shape urban living experiences. For policymakers and urban planners, our findings provide clear guidance. They highlight the complex dynamics that must be considered to build more unified, inclusive and sustainable smart cities.
