Volume 10, Issue 1 (2026) of the Smart Cities and Regional Development (SCRD) Journal explores how digital transformation, governance, and sustainability shape modern cities and regions. Published by the Faculty of Public Administration at SNSPA and the Smart-EDU Hub, this issue brings together international research from Europe, Africa, and beyond. The articles examine both global and local challenges. Topics include democratic global governance and cosmopolitan ethics, digital transformation in public hospitals, smart regional development, sustainable urban mobility, digital leadership in human resource management, and citizen engagement in smart cities.

Overall, this volume presents smart cities not simply as technology projects, but as complex governance ecosystems that require strategic leadership, institutional capacity, and social inclusion. It offers practical insights for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners working in public administration, urban planning, and digital transformation.
