I have to write a research proposal for my PhD thesis in economics. However, I'm interested in smart cities related topics.
I'm trying to find a topic which integrates both smart cities and economic growth or development or smart economy-related topics.
There are a few papers about these topics, thus, I couldn't form a clear perspective. I would appreciate your suggestions for my future research.
Would your research also include smart specialisation, which is related, but not the same as smart cities?
Tom Broekel I'm not familiar with the concept. I've looked it up and it seems interesting but I prefer to develop a concept I'm already familiar with. However, I appreciate your suggestions, it might redirect my research somehow.
Check out these topics bellow;
1. The Socio-Economic Impact of Urban Sprawl towards Smart Cities.
2. Environmental Impact of Smart Cities on Socio-economic Development
and also these articles attached
Dear Tara.
Smart city, with good governance, could promise higher economic growth and better quality of life. It is a very interesting topic. I think you should start by identifying variables that measure smartness and select a sample of cities for your research. I think Governance Variables ought to be given special attention in your analysis. Good Luck.
