Abstract
The world has seen in recent years face intractable challenges, in particular on third world countries represented in poor infrastructure, slowing economic development, decreased budgets, increased populations, which leads to massive pressure on the different services provided by cities which are becoming limited in their ability to respond to these pressures. It was important to benefit from the experiences of various smart cities in developing the services provided by the city to its residents to enhance the quality of life, to build a Sudanese national concept that enhances the opportunities for building a smart city in the near future. However, there are many factors that hinder the adoption of smart city solutions in a country like Sudan. This research work is an attempt to develop a smart city structural framework in developing economies and presents a framework on how to use the strategy and design to upgrade and optimize the city services, future development plans with strategic planning and interaction design. This research work will be useful for policymakers and practitioners in understanding the development of smart cities and will develop the nation’s economy by setting business priorities. Khartoum is selected as a case study as the capital of one of the least developed countries.
