smart cities and mobility does the Smartness of australian cities lead to sustainable commuting patterns
Journal of Urban Technology, 2019Co-Authors: Tan YigitcanlarAbstract:Smart cities have become a popular concept because they have the potential to create a sustainable and livable urban future. Smart mobility forms an integral part of the smart city agenda. This paper investigates “smart mobility” from the angle of sustainable commuting practices in the context of smart cities. This paper studies a multivariate multiple regression model within a panel data framework and examines whether increasing access to broadband Internet connections leads to the choice of a sustainable commuting mode in Australian local government areas. In this case, access to the Internet is used as a proxy for determining urban Smartness, and the use of different modes of transport including working at home is used to investigate sustainability in commuting behavior. The findings show that an increasing access to broadband Internet reduces the level of working from home, public transport use, and active transport use, but increases the use of private vehicles, perhaps to overcome the fragmentation of work activities the Internet creates. How to overcome the need for car-based travel for fragmented work activities while increasing Smartness through the provisioning of broadband access should be a key smart city agenda for Australia to make its cities more sustainable.

Does smart city policy lead to sustainability of cities?
Land Use Policy, 2018Co-Authors: Tan Yigitcanlar, Md KamruzzamanAbstract:The popular smart city concept, for some, is viewed as a vision, manifesto or promise aiming to constitute the 21st century's sustainable and ideal city form, while for others it is just a hype. This paper places smart city practices from the UK under the microscope to investigate their contributions in achieving sustainable urban outcomes. Panel data analysis methods were employed to investigate changes in carbon dioxide emissions level of 15 UK cities with differential level of city Smartness over the period of 2005–2013. The findings reveal that the link between city Smartness and carbon dioxide emissions is not linear, and the impact of city Smartness on carbon dioxide emissions does not change over time. This finding calls for better aligning smart city strategies to lead to concrete sustainable outcomes. The paper concludes by highlighting the importance of prospective investigations to accurately scrutinise existing smart city projects’ outcomes, and emphasising the necessity of developing smart city agendas that deliver sustainable outcomes.

smart city ranking of major australian cities to achieve a smarter future
Sustainability, 2020Co-Authors: Muhammad Atiq Ur Rehman Tariq, Alavaiola Faumatu, Maha Hussein, Muhammad Laiq Ur Rahman Shahid, Nitin MuttilAbstract:A Smart City is a solution to the problems caused by increasing urbanization. Australia has demonstrated a strong determination for the development of Smart Cities. However, the country has experienced uneven growth in its urban development. The purpose of this study is to compare and identify the Smartness of major Australian cities to the level of development in multi-dimensions. Eventually, the research introduces the openings to make cities smarter by identifying the focused priority areas. To ensure comprehensive coverage of all aspects of the smart city’s performance, 90 indicators were selected to represent 26 factors and six components. The results of the assessment endorse the impacts of recent government actions taken in different urban areas towards building smarter cities. The research has pointed out the areas of deficiencies for underperforming major cities in Australia. Following the results, appropriate recommendations for Australian cities are provided to improve the city’s Smartness.

in search for the lost Smartness in smart cities consumers or citizens
Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, 2021Co-Authors: Laura Sartori, D ArcidiaconoAbstract:The paper develops a systematic reflection about the future of smart cites at the time of Covid-19, starting from an original periodization about the evolution of the concept of Smartness, declined through a four fold analytical tool (technological, human-social, institutional and spatial-environmental dimensions). Focusing on the role of smart citizens and on the “right to the city” concept, we list and critically appraise the emerging trends made visible by the worldwide sanitary crisis. © 2021 IEEE Computer Society.
