Smart cities, Sustainability, Ranking, Principal Component AnalysisAbstract
Cities all over the world are looking for dependable and sustainable growth solutions as a consequence of expansion of citizen demands, ecological issues, and technology advancements. Comprehending the notion of smart cities requires understanding its fundamental multiple dimensions. Regarding the complexity of smart cities, a multilayered framework incorporating social inclusion, environmental sustainability, and inclusive economic growth is required. Six fundamental aspects of smart cities are identified by researchers: people, transportation, living, government, environment, and economics. Moreover, the main goal of developing smart cities is to use information technology to increase urban sustainability. In order to evaluate how well European cities have the capacity to change according to the requirements of their population, the aim of this study is to ensure an aggregate rating of smart city performance based on citizens’ needs. The research creates an important contribution by offering an extensive framework to measure smart cities’ urban performance using the multi-criteria ARAS (Additive Ratio Assessment) decision-making method. The analysis additionally provides a contribution by identifying the key smart cities’ indicators that have the greatest impact on Aalborg’s optimal urban performance achievement, making it the best-ranked, smart liveable and Danish sustainability „flagship“ city.
