Abstract

The value of sustainable urbanisation has been redefined by UN-Habitat, which includes intangible and cultural values. The pace of smart and healthy urbanism is accelerating in humankind, yet there is little evidence for integrating such new perspectives of sustainable urbanisation. Therefore, this paper aims to propose a holistic sustainable-smart-healthy (SSH) framework – public social spaces where people can live a smart and healthy urban lifestyle that benefits current and future generations. Through the systematic literature review methodology, important themes were constructed. This study has contributed to the existing sustainable development body of knowledge in conceptualising SSH future urban environments.
