Abstract

There are diverse ways and concepts to align the development of smart cities with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This chapter is concerned with ways of making sure that any smart city transformation is aligned in full or in part with the SDGs to achieve sustainability. It outlines fundamentals that affect any plan of smart city development. After discussing basic commitments of smart city sustainability, such as the Aalborg and other commitments, the chapter proceeds to distinguish between horizontal, vertical alignment, and blended alignment with SDGs. Emphasis is placed on two relevant SDGs: Goal 11 and Goal 17. An accelerated policy of action is suggested (Smart Rush). Finally, the chapter addresses the modalities of enhancing innovation and participation in smart sustainable cities.
