| Abstract | The construction industry, business models, and smart cities are recognized as pivotal domains with profound implications for fostering sustainability, prompting extensive research endeavors. However, there remains a dearth of interdisciplinary integration within this sphere aimed at fostering sustainable development. Nevertheless, current studies suggest that research in this area could provide theoretical and practical guidance for the sustainable transformation of society and make a positive contribution to the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Therefore, this paper aims to utilize an innovative mixed research approach combining macro-quantitative bibliometric analysis with subsequent micro-qualitative content examination based on the SDGs to explore the relationship between BIM and smart cities in promoting a sustainability-oriented business model, which provides a comprehensive understanding of the overall situation and development of research topics in the field and contributes to the improvement of the SDGs. The results show that, during the last 13 years (from the year 2011 to 2023), the period from the year 2011 to 2016 was the initial stage of the field, followed by a rapid growth after the year 2018, of which "BIM", "Smart City", "Business Model", "Building Life Cycle", "Urban Management", and "Business Model Innovation" are the keywords representing the current research hotspots. The circular economy model that has been developed since 2021 has contributed to life cycle stages, including "briefing stages" and "procurement stages". As such, the "whole life cycle", "strategic urban planning frameworks", and "sustainable business models" have become future research trends, whilst real-world applications such as "smart tourism", "e-government", and "green building" have emerged. Further, the key partnerships of "city managers", "corporate enterprises", and "public participation" for smart cities contribute to the achievement of SDGs 8 and 17 in terms of integrating urban information technology and urban infrastructure, policy regulation, knowledge-sharing, improving economic efficiency, and promoting sustainable economic growth. |
