Abstract	Although several sustainability rating systems have been proposed to assess the sustainability performance of projects, there is still no comprehensive framework to support the implementation of smart solutions within buildings and neighborhoods. To bridge this gap, this research project aims to propose an assessment framework to measure the smart readiness of neighborhood which can make a significant contribution in structuring and valuing existing potential technologies and smart solutions through various conceptual levels of smartness. This framework is developed using a mixed method approach through three phases: i) creating the taxonomy of smartening KPIs; ii) assigning weights to the KPIs by formulating determinant indexes reflecting sustainability and ESG targets (Customized based on four well-known certifications namely, LEED, BREEAM, DGNB, and GRESB); iii) introducing an output-based measurement method; finally, the framework is tested on a case study. The implementation of the smartening assessment framework through the different use of smart solutions and technologies resulted in a progressive sum of scores which emphasized the importance of stakeholders' engagement in planning smartening scenarios. This framework empowers managers and policymakers to clarify the objective level of smartness mostly through different social and environmental aspects and quantitatively distinguish the critical differences between smart and smarter neighborhoods. © 2024
