This unit examines how sustainability pressures, digitalization, and governance shape urbanization and smart city outcomes, using regional case studies and examples to surface trade-offs and opportunities. Students explore stakeholder engagement, inclusiveness, data-driven decision-making, and co-creation approaches to prepare policies and solutions that scale beyond single-city boundaries.
Learning Objectives
- Analyze regional smart city case studies (Asia, Australia, Europe) to identify at least three common drivers, governance models, and inclusiveness challenges
- Evaluate the effects of sustainability demands and digital interactions on human behavior and city policy by producing a comparative brief with evidence-based recommendations
- Apply data-driven decision-making principles to build a simple city data dashboard and use it to justify two community-focused decisions
- Design a stakeholder engagement and governance plan that specifies roles, mechanisms for inclusion and co-creation, and mitigation strategies for insufficient support or weak governance
