In addition to this, models of smart city frameworks/assessmenttools/KPIs are reviewed within the context of this paper; environment,economy, and governance were found to have domain themes on urbansustainability according to the literature review. Consequently, efficient andintegrated urban management, environmental monitoring and management,public and social services of urban development, and sustainability are foundto be the most important dimensions in urban and regional planning.SIMURG_CITIES evaluation models for urban projects can use the findingsof this paper.
