This phenomenon nevertheless presents the challenges to the carrying capacity of urban public services in protecting elderly's well-being. It is therefore important to have a proper method for conducting rigorous assessment on this carrying capacity, thus the weak areas can be identified and proper measures can be taken to enhance the capacity. This paper presents an innovative method for assessing urban public services carrying capacity (UPSCC) from the nuanced perspective of elderly's well-being. The method incorporates both the carriers and loads of urban public services. In developing this assessment method, Maslow's hierarchical needs theory and Existence Relatedness and Growth (ERG) theory are referred jointly to delineate the profile of elderly's nuanced needs and demystify UPSCC carriers and loads, and their interactions. The applicability of the proposed assessment model is exemplified via the empirical case study in referring to four municipalities in China. The results indicate that UPSCC varies significantly between overloaded and underutilised among the four municipalities. The empirical findings provide valuable references for the case cities to formulate tailor-made policy instruments to better develop and utilise urban public services in addressing the challenges brought by population aging.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45131,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Urban Management","volume":"14 3","pages":"Pages 896-912"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144893541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After identifying the main stakeholders in the Belgian mobility ecosystem, we conducted 18 semi-structured interviews with stakeholders pertaining to all quadrants of the Quadruple Helix (i.e., government, academia, civil society, industry) to identify the most important drivers and values in mobility governance. During the subsequent co-creation session, we employed the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method, to facilitate collaborative consensus-building and value prioritization. Our results highlight the complexity of decision-making in the mobility context, and the trade-off between the importance of values on the short-, and long-term. This stakeholder-based analysis offers new insights into how public values can be integrated into smart mobility governance frameworks.

This modification aims to mitigate urban challenges while fostering robust urban growth using advanced technologies. However, many existing maturity models fail to adequately address the specific requirements and gaps in digital transformation capabilities necessary for effective urban management. The implementation of information and innovative communication strategies in urban areas has led to the development of new organizational procedures and business models. City managers recognize that digital transformation can drive urban growth. Therefore, they can enhance their processes by following a clear strategy outlined in a digital transformation capability maturity model. Despite the growing emphasis on digital transformation in urban management, existing maturity models do not adequately capture the specific processes and requirements necessary for effective implementation, resulting in challenges for city managers in assessing their capabilities. For this purpose, this study evaluates smart city maturity models and identifies gaps in the requirements for digital transformation capability. As a result, an innovative model for assessing the maturity of digital transformation capability in smart cities is proposed. The presented maturity model is particularly helpful for businesses and private companies seeking to embrace digital transformation for urban growth. It facilitates their systematic advancement toward higher maturity levels by enabling them to assess current capabilities.

Grounded theory is applied to compare the distinct governance challenges, policy priorities, and strategic planning approaches of the two cities. Key findings show that that Dubai immensely benefits from effective decision-making, a clear strategic vision, long-term transport planning, and structured program implementation. In contrast, Lahore grapples with overlapping roles among multiple planning agencies, delays in Master Plan approvals, and weak implementation frameworks, all of which contribute to uncontrolled horizontal expansion and a road-centric development model.

The research design adopted cross-sectional studies from 2007 to 2022 for all Japanese small and medium-sized cities with populations of less than 200,000. The nonlinear relationship was analyzed via the eXtreme gradient boosting algorithm. As a result, this study revealed 1288 shrinking cities, accounting for 82.56% of all small and medium-sized cities in Japan. For the shrinking cities, this study identified the types of per capita municipal expenditures that correlate with population change: population change was correlated with welfare expenditures. Specifically, the population grew in cities that increased in per capita expenditures on children and decreased in those on welfare recipients and the older population. Our findings suggest that municipal policy-makers should prioritize per capita expenditures on child welfare to sustain the population in small and medium-sized cities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45131,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Urban Management","volume":"14 2","pages":"Pages 314-324"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143948235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
