“…The results of the literature review show that organisations that collaborate with other stakeholders in urban smart sustainability projects have the potential to create and sustain competitive advantage and simultaneously add value to society, thus enhancing its wellbeing. In Table 1 an analysis of stakeholders is provided, in which we attempt to review some of the most relevant social, institutional and political factors that have significant roles in smart urban development (Bernardino & Santos, 2017;Bonaccorsi, 2017;Borowik, 2014;Joshua, 2017;Lawton, 2017). Based on the analysis of the literature and sources of cities and technological companies, it can be concluded that an outbreak of technologies that will truly enable the development of smart cities will occur in the near future (Anthopoulos, 2017).…”

“…The third important aspect of spatial differences in QOL in Poland is the functional structure of the counties. The compatibility of QOL with socio-economic growth is also visible (Easterlin, 1974(Easterlin, , 2001Joshua, 2017;Kenny, 1999). Service and industrial-service counties have the highest QOL (and socio-economic development level) and agricultural ones have the lowest (Kurek et al, 2020).…”

“…The nature of this influence is highly complex, varies according to the elements of QOL and relative to a particular social system in which human needs develop, subject to continuous (constant) evolution (Hult et al, 2020). This leads to a conclusion, emphasised in literature on the subject, that economic growth does not always result in developmental effects or improved QOL while its result is, to a large extent, socially diversified (Easterlin, 1974(Easterlin, , 2001Joshua, 2017;Kenny, 1999). What is morethe impact of economic growth is also spatially diversified in the development process and depends on specific regional and local resources making up territorial capital (Capello, 2009;Churski et al, 2021;Fernandez-Vazquez et al, 2020).…”

Commonly used in human geography, quality of life (QOL) refers to the way and degree to which objective human needs are met, not only existential ones, but also those regarding the development of the human personality. This article diagnoses QOL understood in this way in Poland and its changes between 2004 and 2018 (i.e. during modernization), which saw the continuation of systemic transformation after joining the EU. To fully identify the regularity of spatial differences in the analysed phenomenon, 380 local units are used as reference points. First, we formulated an operational definition of multifaceted QOL with its separate dimensions, as well as selecting and constructing organized indicators that can be determined at the local level. Then we quantified local differences in the rate of growth and the level of QOL using multivariate analysis. Third, on the basis of the obtained results, we sought to reach the most significant conclusions: (1) the dynamic economic growth, enjoyed in Poland in 2004–2018, did not change significantly the spatial diversity of the quality of life on a local level. (2) To a large extent, the persistent differences in the quality of life in Poland are related to the historical spatial differences in the level of urbanisation and the well-established, traditional economic structure of the specific territorial units. (3) A higher degree of urbanisation coupled with the service- and service and industry-related functional nature of the local units in Poland are conducive to a better quality of life. This confirms the regularities observed in the countries on the verge of a rapid economic development.

Technology has indispensably been a part of the city evolution throughout history. In recent years, there has been a shift in the pattern of development in smart cities, where smart cities attempt to embrace practices of sustainability using Information and Communication Technologies and other smart solutions. Past studies reveal that these smart cities have failed in successfully incorporating sustainable development goals into their smart strategies, where they tend to focus more on achieving smartness goals rather than sustainability goals and targets. This paper presents a multifaceted interrogative study on several ongoing smart city initiatives around the globe that supports United Nations Urban Sustainability Agenda. This paper aims to focus on harmonizing smart and sustainable city initiatives with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals using a systems thinking approach. The study develops conceptual models that support the city transition into being a sustainable smart city. These conceptual models were designed based on the fundamentals of system thinking for a system of several elements under the key catalyzers "Policy and Governance," "Research & Development," and "Partnership." The causalities and interrelationships among elements in developed conceptual models justify the dynamicity and the impact of these elements within a system. The outcome of this research paper would support industry experts, policymakers, and city planners to adopt robust policy interventions and best practices for developing strategies that support the transition of smart cities to the futuristic label of sustainable cities.
