| Abstract |
Our cities are on the verge of a radical transformation, a revolution driven by smart city technology from tranportation, engery, water supply to intelligent construction. Infrastructure is the backbone of cities and its relevant policy plays an essential role in the development of smart city. The appraisal for the policy is indispensable, however, which is often ignored. The research attempts to explore appraisal of major infrastructure policy of the UK through scenario-based multi-criteria analysis (SMCA) and discuss impact of major infrastructure policy and projects on social, ecnomic, and enviroment factors of cities. This paper finds different scenarios can be incorporated into multi-criteria analysis (MCA) to investigate future uncertainty for the policy statement appraisal. However, the hybrid approach through combining scenario planning and MCA increases the complexity of the sustainability appraisal. Although more and more research has focused on comparing the strengths and weaknesses of SMCA and existing methods, the research results in the paper provide evidence that SMCA might be a more useful tool in appraising major infrastructure planning policy and projects of smart city in the furture. |
