Abstract: Abstract Cities are projected to accommodate a high majority of human population and also economic activities. Advances in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) enable significant transformation potential in the way cities are planned and managed. This chapter proposes a holistic impact-driven smart sustainable city (SSC) framework to address social, economic, and environmental issues. The suggested framework defines and encompasses main city constituents and can be used as top-down and bottom-up approach; and may act as a strategic decision-making tool for SSCs as they undertake city-level large-scale complex initiatives. The chapter discusses the application of the suggested impact-driven SSC framework in Smart Dubai, the smart city initiative of Dubai in UAE, as a short case study.
