SMART LIVEABLE CITIES - DISCUSSION
POST – 5

Discussion Post 5
The budget of the city represent that the city spends more expenditure on the areas such as parks
and recreational facilities of the city as it enables the city to efficiently develop and transform the
city in to a smart livable city of the world. The budget of the city reflects that the city spends
more expenditure on parks, education institute and recreational facilities of the city as these areas
enables the city to develop the areas of the city. The city gives less expenditure on essential
services such as water, electricity and road in the budget as the city is has well developed
facilities in sectors of water in the city and the electricity of the city is also well maintained
which further enable the city to spend less on the budget. Thus the city gives more focus on the
parks and recreational facilities as this enables the city to improve its less efficient areas as for
effectively transforming itself as a smart livable city (Marsal, et. al., 2017).
Moreover, the city budget is different from Sydney smart city budget as Sydney budget focuses
more on essential services sector as the city is required to develop and improve that area of the
city as for being a smart livable city. While the city budget gives more focus on recreational
facilities as for efficiently improving the city facilities for the public. Thus the budget of city
differs from Sydney smart city budget on the basis of the requirement of the cities to transform
into a smart livable city (Zhuhadar, et. al., 2017).
