Abstract Views: 0

The current study focused on a developmental approach to study sustainability and public administration in the smart cities of China. The concept was based on an analysis of how cities are being reinvented using data and new technology in urban settings to enable sustainable practices, while taking into account the best possible balance between managing environmental resources and managing urban and rural areas. In this context, the goal is to present the development of China’s so-called smart cities, considering the Chinese government’s plan to create a new phase of economic growth, sustainability, and greater regional integration, through institutional management, improving infrastructure, and protecting the natural resources with an emphasis on energy transition and innovation... At the same time, COVID-19 pandemic is considered to have intensified the global debate on sustainable development by highlighting the vulnerability of humans towards diseases, amid the culture of hyper consumption and climate change.
