Summary/Abstract: We develop a conceptual framework based on a systematic and comprehensive literature review on urban sustainability analytics. Building our argument by drawing on data collected from ESI ThoughtLab, KPMG, McKinsey, and Osborne Clarke, we performed analyses and made estimates regarding most needed changes to improve smart cities’ living environment (%), the return on, and the economic benefits of, investments in smart city pillars by maturity stage (%), and how smart city applications can contribute to a safer urban environment (%). The data for this research were gathered via an online survey questionnaire and were analyzed through structural equation modeling on a sample of 3,800 respondents.
