Abstract	Transformation towards smart sustainable cities requires transitioning and modernising urban infrastructure systems. This study builds upon previous work and recommendations to address the need for a holistic and comprehensive framework to guide the planning, development, and management of smart sustainable infrastructure transitions. Existing approaches and methods regarding city and infrastructure transitioning were reviewed to draw up an understanding of, the requirements for, and guidelines useful to the design of a conceptual framework. The framework was established through synthesis of the knowledge and insight gathered from the literature. A collective case study analysis was used to verify the theoretical framework and make adaptations to successfully address any shortcomings. The framework was then also subjected to a validation process testing the appropriateness of the framework’s design using a Delphi technique and industry experts. After adapting the framework based on the feedback from experts, all of them were certain the framework would hold up in practice. The framework is intended as a generic guideline useful to municipal managers, city planners, and project portfolio managers appointed to plan, direct, and manage the transition of an existing city towards a smart sustainable city. © 2023 by the authors.
