An economical, sustainable and technological analysis of impact of the smart cities - The case study of Barcelona and Singapore
| Resumo: | This study performs a comparative analysis of smart cities in Barcelona and Singapore with the aim of exploring the interactions between economic development, technology, and sustainability, as well as identifying the international climate change guidelines, regulatory patterns, and performance of these case studies. Employing a descriptive qualitative methodology supported by visual data, the study scrutinizes data from voluntary reports, municipal datasets, international reports, and academic literature. The results indicate that both cities are actively implementing technological solutions to reduce energy consumption and enhance the efficiency of public services. However, despite adhering to various international climate change guidelines and exhibiting distinct regulatory patterns, more concerted effort is needed to achieve the sustainability goals outlined in the 2030 Agenda. This is particularly true in the domains of innovation and citizen engagement. This study contributes to the understanding of how smart cities can balance economic growth and sustainability through the adoption of emerging technologies, while also providing insights into their alignment with global climate guidelines and performance metrics. |
