Abstract This study seeks to thoroughly understand the catalysts driving Semarang, one of Indonesia's cities, to become a smart city, with the ultimate goal of improving the long-term well-being of its citizens. Driven by the various barriers that exist in urban development, we begin with a thorough examination of the causes influencing this shift, focusing on the critical role played by Semarang's local government. Semarang, with its rich history and environmental challenges, provides a distinct case study of urban life in Indonesia. Our research used a diverse approach to unravel the rich narrative of Semarang's evolution, including interviews and observational analysis. Our findings highlight the function of the local government in crafting concepts of sustainable development, innovation and community engagement into Semarang's urban planning framework to aid its transition to a smart city. Key drivers of this transition include the development of local regulations, government readiness, and stakeholder collaboration. While seemingly small, these efforts have had a tremendous impact on human progress, providing important insights for the community. This study needs to continue with comparisons with other cities, we want to learn about lessons that can be used to optimize urban ecosystems around the world, ensuring that the quality of life for all citizens improves. ©2024 The authors.
