| Abstract | In recent years, many cities around the world have taken actions to enhance their sustainability and resilience. For this purpose, they are increasingly relying on smart city indicatives. At the same time, many tools have been developed for assessing the sustainability, resilience, and smartness of cities and neighborhoods. In this chapter, our main aim is to examine the extent of inclusion of smart city indicators in sustainability assessment tools. We examine the extent of inclusion of smart city incubators in existing tools for assessing sustainability at the neighborhood and city scales. The selected city scale tools for analysis are International Urban Sustainability Indicators List, LEED for cities and communities, Comprehensive Assessment System for Built Environment Efficiency, and Chilean Center for Sustainable Urban Development (CEDEUS). Also, the selected tools at the neighborhood scale are LEED for Neighborhood Development (LEED ND), Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method and Green Star Communities. The results of our analysis showed that, on average, more than half of the smart city indicators are covered by selected sustainability assessment tools. However, the extent of coverage was not the same across all dimensions. Dimensions such as smart environment and smart living have been better included in the sustainability assessment tools than the smart economy and smart people dimensions. CEDEUS includes the highest percentage of smartness indicators among the selected sustainability assessment tools, while LEED cities includes the lowest percentage. There is also no considerable difference between neighborhood and city scales of sustainability assessment tools in terms of smartness inclusion. Overall, the results of this research show that more efforts are needed for better integration of smart city and climate resilience indicators into sustainability assessment tools. It is hoped that the developers of assessment tools will consider this issue when revising their assessment tools. © 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. |
