“…Second, existing evidence validating that smart city evolution in China follows a nonlinear trajectory implies that each city has its own approach due to its different local settings, and there is no uniform pattern to be replicated; this explains why copying experiences of other cities in a rigid way may give rise to financial and environmental risks. Third, it can help policymakers reach more insightful findings concerning those links between smart city and urban sustainable development, two concepts the existence of whose commonalities has been universally recognized [65]-in fact, it is extremely urgent-especially in a time that is dictated by a need to shift to a more sustainable techno-social paradigm to adverse repercussions of a resource-intensive and unthoughtfully opportunistic livability philosophy that does not look far into the future [66].…”

Through an evolution from an emerging marketing narrative to a geographical fact around the globe, smart city is increasingly understood as a city’s effort to make itself smart. There seems no single city in the world to be commonly recognized as a real smart city yet, albeit many cities have already tried hard in this missionary commitment. Yet some common features can still be seen and identified, particularly from the urban governance perspective. This article explores the practice of smart city construction in China through a lens of governance by observing the interactive involvement of key stakeholders in the process. By taking three cities (Hangzhou, Wuhan, and Shanghai) in China as study cases, a conceptual framework is established in which three sets of actors, i.e., ICT-related enterprises, government, and civil society, and, accordingly, three types of approaches, i.e., ICT-led, planning-led, and place-making-and-community-oriented, are identified. It is found that the evolution of smart city construction rather follows a nonlinear trajectory and is very dependent on whether or not the primary actors and related stakeholders can form an affirmative acting power in triggering the city’s implementation. In other words, there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to smart city construction. Each city may have its specialization in smartness based on awareness of and respecting its unique existing setting. The empirical study also shows that smart city construction tends to be converged in recognition that the core of smart city is not the smartness of technology but the smartness of all institutions and people enabled to utilize smart tools properly and efficiently in pursuit of people’s well-being, institutional capacity building, and better spatial arrangement towards a sustainable, resilient, and inclusive city in and for the future. From a geographical perspective, that is how to build a smart urban space to make the city a better place to not just accommodate but facilitate and meet people’s increasing demand for a better life in their living places.

“…However, not in terms of the number of vehicles but from the standpoint of transport network users. Thus, work [4] reports the results of a study on the use of simulation modeling and fullscale measurements. The simulation implied the creation of service channels (dedicated lanes highlighted by markings) for public and individual transport.…”

There are different configurations of street and road networks in cities, which is why those transportation models that determine how effectively a public transport network is operated are different. Along with this, some transport areas may have characteristic features predetermined by the density of a street network, the intensity of individual and public traffic. The special feature of the current study is determining the operational effectiveness of dedicated lanes for public transport given a significant density of the main street and road network. Significant density is characterized by its value for the distance between adjacent intersections in the range of 150‒200 m. With such planning patterns, there is a mutual influence of the conditions of individual and public transport between adjacent intersections. An increase in the distance between intersections disrupts the stability of traffic flow through its disintegration into separate groups based on the dynamic characteristics of vehicles. A characteristic feature of the proposed procedure for evaluating the operational effectiveness of dedicated lanes is that the use of a GPS monitoring system makes it possible to relatively quickly determine the areas of the network where there are the greatest delays in movement in real time. After that, attention is focused on investigating the main factors of influence and their parameters followed by modeling. The reported results would in the future contribute to devising a clear sequence of transport-related research based on a set of their methods in order to acquire representative data and define adequate patterns. An important practical result is the use of not only established normative approaches to the design of dedicated lanes, which are common for all types of street and road networks but taking into consideration the peculiarities characteristic of their individual sections.

In recent years, the Russian Federation cities have been actively implementing the concept of "priority for the development of public transport". The most common measure for the implementation public transport priority in Russian Federation is the organization of dedicated lanes. Most often, lanes for public transport are created by reducing the number of lanes for cars and trucks. This method effectiveness is well studied, and it is also known that this measure leads to deterioration in traffic parameters for private vehicles. The article discusses an alternative variant of the public transport priority on intersections with the use of traffic light adaptive control. The analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of two algorithms for adaptive control of traffic light objects is carried out according to the criterion of reducing the delay time of public transport when driving through intersections. With the help of imitation micromodeling, the dependence the delay time on the traffic intensity at a separate intersection was established for the basic variant, the variant with a lane for public transport, two variants of the active priority and the combined variant "active + passive" priority. For all variants, a comparative assessment was made of the deterioration of the driving parameters for personal cars and the improvement for public transport. The methods of granting the public transport priority were ranked according to the criterion of efficiency (travel time delay) for vehicles and all transport system users (drivers and passengers). It was found that in terms of average user travel time delay, passive priority reduces delay by 11.2% on average across the board. Using the combined method (active + passive) reduces user travel time delay by 17.1%. Also, using the combined method reduces the negative effect on personal vehicles compared to passive ones.
