So now that most of those cities which have already implemented and experimented with the smart city concept for once, what is there next, for city administrations to do better, and do it right in the next phase of smart city implementation?
1. Scaling up and replication opportunities for living labs and districts of experimentation.
2. A partnership approach (quadruple helix model and network governance)
3. Early community engagement, heterogeneity of community cross-section in participation, and tackling the digital divide in the context of smart city strategy.
4. Reinstating community trust in brand smart city, by publicizing learnings from the past, acknowledging long-term legacy challenges (e.g. flooding) and wicked problems (e.g. congestion), and mitigating privacy concerns.
5. Regional collaboration with peer cities and capacity building of smaller municipalities in the geographic area – adopting a smart region approach.
6. Enabling linkage of urban policies with sectoral policies (e.g. how come the supply chain doesn't embrace the idea of a smart city, while continuously interacting with and operating within the city.
7. Bringing AI and ML based businesses, and startup ecosystems under the ambit of urban policy or strategic smart city framework, if these businesses have any envisaged impact or use-case application in the built environment and management of the city in any form.
8. Unlocking the true potential of the digital twin, i.e. going beyond utility automation, traffic status, environmental sensing, and mapping of public amenities (i.e. exploring land use change scenario impact simulation, modal split change impact scenario analysis, flood modeling, vulnerability assessment, hazard simulation, climatic and extreme weather impact simulation ect.)
9. Exploring the social impacts of digitalization; exploring whether and how digitalization may contribute to building a fair, equal, and just urban society.
