| Abstract | The purpose of this study is to gain insights into how the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) number 5, addressing Gender Equality, can be connected to the Smart City concept. Recently, Smart Cities have attracted substantial attention and funding, positively impacting the urban economic process. In this regard, the report delves into how Smart Cities can help cities be innovative, safe, and secure to promote gender equality. Furthermore, the objective of this study is to address the Smart City concept as an innovation promoting greater inclusion, safety, resilience, and sustainability so that cities may prosper and provide equal opportunities to all their residents, whilst putting it into the context of the need to address gender equality on a national level. Moreover, the elimination of gender inequality nationally will have a positive impact on a global scale, providing the relevance of this body of work given the scope of globalization. To analyze these conditions, a case study encompassing the startup Safe & The City is used to illustrate the theoretical framework established. Additionally, two interviews with women in the startup and/or Smart City industry were conducted to reach a conclusion in terms of opinions and suggestions for future action. The findings include that networks exist for entrepreneurs and innovators to build and improve their businesses, which is especially of importance for female entrepreneurs. Additionally, initiatives facilitating communities online help to bring marginalized groups together, which may be inevitably important to improve the prerequisites for female founders in the startup industry. This report highlights that the main idea behind Smart Cities, general awareness, and knowledge of SDGs among the public will most likely speed up the process to a more sustainable world. Lastly, issues discovered in this research may be considered in policymaking, showing their relevance for the social, environmental, and economic sphere. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG. |
