Abstract

Rapid technological advances have improved the convenience and efficiency of modern urban life. However, how we might promote the abilities of humans and communities to adapt to digital transformations has not been adequately considered. Therefore, this study focuses on how we might shape a healthy smart environment promoting human experiences toward a seamless adaption facing the city's smartisation. The research framework comprises three dimensions: urban cognitive context, human interactive experience, and subjective wellbeing. We conducted structured interviews in two smart cities—Seoul and Sydney—to compare the interactive experiences and subjective wellbeing of inhabitants. We found that an integrated physical–digital environment focusing on place-based have led to a high level of cognitive, affective, and achievement wellbeing. Based on this result, we propose a smart social sustainability model based on two proposed dimensions—smart context and smart context experience dimension— that may be used by future urban planners and policymakers to develop human-friendly smart cities.

期刊介绍： Cities offers a comprehensive range of articles on all aspects of urban policy. It provides an international and interdisciplinary platform for the exchange of ideas and information between urban planners and policy makers from national and local government, non-government organizations, academia and consultancy. The primary aims of the journal are to analyse and assess past and present urban development and management as a reflection of effective, ineffective and non-existent planning policies; and the promotion of the implementation of appropriate urban policies in both the developed and the developing world.
