cities? (Eneni Bambara-Abban https://www.bcs.org/articles-

considering smart city development, including the:
availability of resources;

increase in middle class;
untapped potential and interest to investors;
lower risk of issues and costs associated with retrofitting;
necessity to tackle corruption.
