Assembling Sustainable Smart City Transitions: An Interdisciplinary Theoretical Perspective

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper analyzed the internal structure and spatial expansion characteristics of new urban fringe areas in two stages from the aspects of expansion quantity, expansion intensity, and expansion direction.

TL;DR: In this article, a conceptual framework for ambient theory for smart cities and regions is proposed, based on a review of the evolving research literature for the ambient and for smart city, and a case study approach together with an explanatory correlational design is used to explore the practical application of ambient theory in smart cities.

TL;DR: The theoretical and empirical analysis of this paper demonstrates that smart city transitions can facilitate the enhancement of healthcare services and is to enrich the conceptualization of governance frameworks for smart city transition while providing empirical evidence from China.

TL;DR: Open strategizing for developing smart city food system: Stakeholder inclusion practices in Da Nang, Vietnam. The study investigates stakeholder inclusion practices in a smart city food system initiative in Da Nang, Vietnam, focusing on the strategizing process. The research identifies four interdependent practices for stakeholder inclusion at different stages of the process: trust formation, common language creation, role transformation, and expectation alignment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors address the question of how technological transitions (TT) come about and identify particular patterns and mechanisms in transition processes, defined as major, long-term technological changes in the way societal functions are fulfilled.

TL;DR: This paper will present and discuss the technical solutions and best-practice guidelines adopted in the Padova Smart City project, a proof-of-concept deployment of an IoT island in the city of Padova, Italy, performed in collaboration with the city municipality.

TL;DR: In this paper, a typology of four transition pathways: transformation, reconfiguration, technological substitution, and de-alignment and re-alignments is presented, which differ in combinations of timing and nature of multi-level interactions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors make four contributions to the approach by addressing some open issues in the sectoral systems of innovation (SOSI) approach, namely, explicitly incorporating the user side in the analysis, suggesting an analytical distinction between systems, actors involved in them, and the institutions which guide actor perceptions and activities.
