dc.description.abstractThe concept of smart cities has proliferated in recent years, along with the sustainability of cities. With the age of information and communication technologies and the adoption and utilization of advanced technologies, more complex city problems are being addressed and solved. Reaching a certain level of digital maturity is a prerequisite for transforming into a smart city. Assessing and measuring the digital maturity (DM) level of cities or municipalities emerges to compare cities and guide them in the digital transformation process. This study aims to assess 30 Turkish metropolitan cities on sustainability and DM based on their annual activity reports. With this assessment, the study aims to test and validate a conceptual framework in Turkiye that examines the correlation between DM and sustainability. The study can help policymakers and city administrations to: a. Analyze current DM and sustainability levels based on their annual activity reports. b. Compare and benchmark their municipality with others in terms of subdimensions. c. Assess improvement areas in terms of DM. d. Take the necessary and appropriate actions to increase DM. e. Determine a road map to transform a smart city. © 2025 Nova Science Publishers, Inc. All rights reserved.
