The smart and healthy city business model Canvas—A post Covid-19 resilience for smart city business modeling framework

Abstract

Cities must adopt clever solutions to address the health issues brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic and challenging population growth, as well as to meet the economic, social, and environmental concerns brought on by continued urbanization. This study aimed to analyze the city operational design and create a framework for a smart city, considering the health issue. It would be a useful instrument as well as to assist the government in the cities in analyzing the changing aspects of the Business Model Canvas (BMC) and altering the existing BMC elements that operationalize the new dimensions of the smart and healthy city. A framework in order to create and disseminate a further comprehensive and cohesive picture of a smart and healthy city operational design is offered by a modified BMC proposal, the so-called BMC of smart and healthy city (SHC). The new elements proposed in this paper are preventive measures and therapeutic urbanism as well as health cost and benefits based on the smart city BMC. Furthermore, it encourages innovative creation and more lasting value. With regard to SDG11, the smart and healthy city BMC provides a platform for connecting sustainable value creation in developing a city operational design and innovation in the smart and healthy cities. This article provides guidelines for modernization of urbanization as per directives of SDG11 of the United Nations.
