Abstract

Community-led efforts propelling the shift towards technology savvy, environmental awareness, and sustainable urban centres have projected a fundamental role in shaping future-oriented resource strategies, fostering social innovation and implementing sustainable community living. However, realising the smart cities’ agenda has proven to be an intricate challenge, presenting governance and local engagement complexities. This study endeavours to delineate the framework of smart cities, specifically emphasising (i) the drivers of social innovation embedded within diverse smart city frameworks and (ii) use cases of social innovation initiatives driven by smart city components. These elements highlight the interconnectedness of technological advancements and societal progress in smart cities. In pursuit of these objectives, this study puts forth a recent framework for social innovation in energy transition, drawing inspiration from pioneering initiatives in a few urban areas in Malaysia.
