“…These works of literature mostly overemphasized technological and big data elements in urban governance to meet the needs of human experiences or enabling human behavior [30,31]. On the other hand, "human-driven method" thinkers, such as [10,[32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39], perceived technology as a catalyst to human capital improvement, with the primary concern of encouraging the genuine involvement of the people in smart cities, particularly in decision-making, co-creating ideas, or co-producing projects.…”

Social Inclusion Indicators for Building Citizen-Centric Smart Cities: A Systematic Literature Review

Despite the rhetoric of “citizen-first,” which has been tokenized in recent years by the smart city administrations, what it means has long been unclear to many, including the public at large. Put simply, this rhetoric concerns the mindset of the members of a local community and places them at the heart of the smart city initiatives. In order to bring further clarity to this issue under the current neoliberal urbanism, this study aimed to identify the key indicators of citizen-centric smart cities from the perspective of participative governance practices and citizens’ responsibilities. To achieve this aim, this study involved a systematic literature review of the social inclusion indicators for building citizen-centric smart cities. The social inclusion indicators that were formed were verified by practitioners to suit the local contexts of an emerging and developing country, in this case, Malaysia. The findings of the review revealed that: (a) the acceptance of social inclusion indicators was mainly limited to the realm of democratic developed countries, leaders’ understanding of citizenship, the delegation of decision-making power in governance practices, the participative culture of societies, and individual citizens’ self-discipline; (b) the social inclusion indicators may not be welcomed in emerging and developing countries; (c) in the long term, these indicators would shed light on the rise of self-organizing cities that will gain popularity in potential city developments, be it in developed or developing countries.

“…Several deeper participatory models have been proposed, such as proactive local planning, participatory budgeting, institutionalized citizens' assemblies, citizen-run sharing and repairing spaces, and cooperatives (Hollo, 2018b;Peters, 2017). In smart urbanisation development, one of the emphases is on citizen centricity which promotes participatory democracy and citizenship; it is this aspect that has gradually gained the attention of scholars (Berntzen et al, 2016;Cardullo & Kitchin, 2018;Castelnovo et al, 2015;Lee & Lee, 2014;Lim et al, 2018).…”

Consequent to the declaration of achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs) by United Nations in 2016, most of the countries with capitalist politics have chosen to adopt "smart urbanisation" as a tool to help them gear up for national development. However, research shows that most countries, including Malaysia, are not on the right track. Thus, this research paper aims to examine the alternative political policies besides that of a capitalist/liberal democracy, such as ecological democracy, that the Malaysian smart urbanisation movement should follow to achieve the SDGs. This study applied the method of case study analysis in examining empirical examples related to stakeholder partnerships and environmental cases in smart urbanisation in Malaysia. This paper argues that achieving the SDGs with the current capitalist hegemony poses a significant challenge to countries. However, with environmental ethics in mind, it is possible to achieve the SDGs with the trust granted by the government in the form of participatory politics. The SDGs also need to be overhauled and rewritten under the realm of ecological democracy. The implications of the findings include creating a call for support for an emerging ecological democracy that is particularly compatible with the SDGs as well as embedded in the natural environment, social and economic developments.

“…Additionally, the definition of citizen centric would be the key consideration for improving the capability of public services, whereby the smart city would be presented in consisting with four key dimensions: technology in concentration of automation/information and transformation, service purpose, service authority, and delivery [36]. This would be highly considered as prioritization of concern due to (1) the complexity of citizen as the sources of key consideration for developing citizen centricity, (2) citizen would be a direct beneficiary, and (3) they would be the key participants and responsible for development [37].…”

The suitable utility of driving the enterprise architecture exercise is to utilize the enterprise architecture framework as the fundamental guidance. But there are some challenges of applying those frameworks for government and their agencies because most of the frameworks have concentrated focus for the private sector which some fundamentally requirement of government would be specifically different. This paper aims to propose that the sustainable government enterprise architecture framework specifically applies for the national strategic planning in the optimum exercise process and clarity guidance for the information technology organization being able to transform and improve their services for an achievable adaptation efficiency, simplification, cost management, collaboration, shareability, and standardization which accommodate the rapidly changing service usability on digitalization known as “e-Government.” The fundamental design idea of this proposed framework has identified five keys principles, which are (1) legislation support, (2) top-down target architecture, (3) architecture governance, (4) shared services, and (5) cross-organization collaboration that would be considered as the key critical success factors for achieving the exercise. The overall response of the specific expert survey of this proposed framework has demonstrated the consensus responded at 90 percentage agreeable, which would strongly consider this framework applicable for groups of developing countries as the baseline framework for their digitalized transformation.
