Urban Mgt

Urbanization and sustainable urban management are considered to be the most critical factors for future cities. To implement comprehensive strategies for managing urban development based on social, environmental, and economic issues, city managers must use integrated frameworks to direct available resources. In the era of modern urbanization, urban management organizations such as municipalities face multifaceted problems. City managers must use mostly advanced systems to collect vast amounts of data and information.
A knowledge management system (KMS) promotes a knowledge-based urban planning process concerning sustainable aspects. The Knowledge-Based City (KBC) is an integrated framework for applying advanced management to the maintenance and development of urban management, and this integrated framework is in line with the benefits of using classical urban planning and sustainable development processes.
Knowledge creation and dissemination can also improve local government competence and efficiency, make urban planning more knowledge-based, and provide more knowledge about citizens (to better respond to them).
In today's era, local government networks need tools to manage their knowledge assets to build adaptive capacity to deal with existing complexity and uncertainty. Knowledge management in urban management is categorized through several topics:
• A discourse to digitize knowledge management in urban development;
• Network of social-spatial knowledge production factors;
• Use of KM in decision-making processes;
• The impact of knowledge management on actions, user interface with citizens and organizational results.

Smart cities & knowledge management

Smart cities means using modern digital communication technology to monitor, manage, and strengthen critical infrastructure and public services. Today, the concept of "smart cities" is gaining traction among policymakers, urban developers, and government officials worldwide and is emerging as a significant response to urbanization, economic reconstruction, and other environmental challenges facing cities.
Smart cities are dependent on the creation of urban infrastructure (physical capital) and increasingly depend on the availability and quality of knowledge flow and social infrastructure (human and social capital).
From the perspective of knowledge management, smart city:
• is a complex network of communications that is continuously evolving and evolving.
• Influenced by the flow of capital related to an innovative society; Which is supported by an appropriate and transparent legal framework and with the support and participation of the public and the private sector.
• Its development has been doubled by human resources specialists and creative agents.

Smart city knowledge-based vision

The knowledge-based vision of the smart city, focusing on information and knowledge of the people, offers solutions to improve decision-making processes and strengthen the added value of modern city business processes. Knowledge management has a wide range of tools and techniques to facilitate smart insights, generate ideas, help approve them, and strengthen citizen participation in smart city decisions.
A Knowledge Broker Intervention Model is presented as the main lever to help create a smart city. The leading role of KBIM is to cultivate and create relationships for the continuity of information and knowledge flow between researchers and decision-makers on the one hand and, on the other hand, between the organizational layers of society. KBIM is not only a social tool, but also the main reason for its use is to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the knowledge transferred and the timely access of decision-makers to the required knowledge. Its ultimate goal is to ensure significant change as a result.
