Original abstract
In recent years, there has been a shift in cities striving for smart city targets to deal with economic growth, changing consumption pattern and environmental challenges in urban areas (Jong et al., 2015). Smart city concept supports the idea of environmental sustainability as its main aim is reducing greenhouse gas emissions in urban areas through the deployment of innovative technologies (European Union, 2011). These technologies need to be smart, lean, integrated, cost efficient and resource-efficient, and they should have an impact not only on environmental sustainability targets but also on citizens' wellbeing and financial sustainability (Ahvenniemi et al., 2017). Building on the synergy and interdependence between socio-economic sustainability and ecological sustainability and endeavour to promote green growth, sustainability for smart cities should be further emphasized (Colding and Barthel, 2017).
