Smart cities and sustainable development goals (SDGs): A systematic literature review of co-benefits and trade-offs

Cities, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 146, С. 104659 - 104659

Опубликована: Дек. 19, 2023

Despite the wealth of research on smart cities, there is a lack studies examining interlinkages between cities and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In other words, limited how implementing city solutions can lead to co-benefits and/or trade-offs for achieving SDGs. This systematic literature review was conducted fill this gap. Results show that responsible development/implementation technologies could contribute progress toward The mainly focused SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities Communities), 12 (Responsible Consumption Production), 7 (Affordable Clean Energy), 6 (Clean Water Sanitation). More work SDGs needed. There bias reporting benefits cities.

Urban climate adaptation and mitigation action plans: A critical review

Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 189, С. 113886 - 113886

Local governments are expected now more than ever to lead climate action planning as change intensifies and urbanization increases rapidly. However, studies indicate limitations in the comprehensiveness level of integration adaptation mitigation existing plans. To develop suitable plans that comprehensive consistent with globally accepted standards benchmarks, this study proposed an Urban Climate Action Planning framework pilot-tested it 257 urban Overall, 43 criteria included across three stages planning. The pilot test revealed half sampled have a medium suitability, 39% having weak suitability. About 51% from Europe Surprisingly, none Africa Latin America achieved suitability despite lacking significant share global research development funding. A Kruskal-Wallis shows statistically association between (a) city types (p-value 0.004326) (b) year adoption or publication scores 0.0001027). adopted published recently (2018–2022) likely those earlier. Global South had higher average North. presents key findings considerations for future research.

Towards cool cities and communities: Preparing for an increasingly hot future by the development of heat-resilient infrastructure and urban heat management plan

Environmental Technology & Innovation, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 34, С. 103568 - 103568

Опубликована: Фев. 9, 2024

Planning for extreme heat challenges is an urgent task urban planners, designers, and managers because a new normal climate-related challenge many cities. However, how to integrate existing scientific outcomes achieve the transformation from research practice critical question. This study aims frame heat-resilient infrastructure system management plan (UHMP) better promote solution implementation. analyses heat-related challenges, with China as typical nation highly urbanized urbanizing cities, demonstrate urgency of preparing era. then elucidates fundamentals methods UHMP development, structure prevention, preparation, mitigation, adaptation, co-benefits approaches. Heat–resilient was framed ensure that society withstands, responds to, recovers heat–related impacts through actions planning, design, construction, operation, considering structural measures, non–structural approach. Furthermore, framework developed by determining key mission, components, associated agencies. Overall, this provides theoretical methodological frameworks comprehensively understand solutions increase their implementation capacity.
