Comprehending
how
smart
city
construction
(SCM)
affects
urban
metabolic
efficiency
(UME)
is
crucial
to
comprehensively
assessing
the
policy
performance
of
SCM.
This
study
evaluates
SCM
UME
through
a
double-difference-in-differences
(DID)
model
according
panel
data
collected
between
2004
and
2021
from
284
Chinese
cities.
It
found
that
can
promote
UME,
this
effect
increases
yearly.
Meanwhile,

Moreover,
promotes

(IUE),

(SSE).
Results
above
contribute
better

for

improve
their

Wastewater
treatment
plant
decision
makers
face
stricter
regulations
regarding
human
health
protection,
environmental
preservation,
and
emissions
reduction,
meaning
they
must
improve
process
sustainability
circularity,
whilst
maintaining
economic
performance.
This
creates
complex
multi-objective
problems
when
operating
selecting
technologies
to
meet
these
demands,
resulting
in
the
development
of
many
support
systems
for

European
Commission

highlight
their

which
system

should

Following
review
57

main

are

A
large
contrast
aims
is
found,
as
clearly
define

indicators
used,
procedures
often
use
vague
language
making
it
difficult
connect

Several
recommendations
made

such

including
participatory

well
