Summary:Recent research has motivated an amalgamation between sustainability and smart city approaches towards the concept of smart sustainable cities; in an attempt to effectively address current and future challenges facing cities. Urban infrastructure networks are indicated as a crucial point of intervention in order to transition cities to be more smart and sustainable. Cities can be understood as complex socio-technical systems-of- systems and should be approached in a holistic manner due to its interdependencies and interconnectedness. Literature in- dicates a need for improved knowledge regarding socio-technical transitioning towards smart sustainable cities, specifically aimed at urban infrastructure. This paper proposes the development of a framework to guide socio-technical transitioning of urban infrastructure networks for smart sustainable cities.
