Smart Cities and Decision Support Systems - A literature review within the domain of blight properties

Authors Info & Claims
Published:14 September 2022Publication History

ABSTRACT

Blighted properties management and prevention is a known wicked problem. Due to the multi-dimensional nature of the issue and the solutions needed, the literature on smart cities and decision support systems (DSS) could shed light on developing more effective policies to address this challenge. This poster does a literature review to identify to what extent and how smart cities, DDS, and blight properties have been articulated. The study finds a low number of texts. Nonetheless, they present a considerable variability in approaches, methodologies, and perspectives.
