Abstract
Renewable energy is not only cost effective but also plays vital role in decreasing the pollution. Most of the developing countries struggle with the energy supply for the cities. The introduction of renewable energy resources will not only meet the increased city demand of energy but also helps in making the smart city. Information and communication technologies help in efficient communication and work using different soft wares. The better the Information and communication technologies services in the country the better will be the chance of generating the smart cities in Asia. Emission of CO2 contributes to the pollution and thus, the global warming. If the government, make better policies and communicate it with e-governance with the people of the country then there will be the chances of making the smart cities in the Asia. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of three dependent variables including state legitimacy, democracy and public services on the independent variables on the quality of the education. The data was collected from ten different Asian countries including are incudes Pakistan, India, China, Bangladesh, Nepal, Afghanistan, Iran, Turkey, Maldives, Indonesia, Saudi Arab, Kazakhstan, Syria, Qatar and Iraq. The timeline of the study is 26 years from 2019 and the data was collected from The Economic Form, The World Bank reports as well as the Transparency International. The analysis was performed by using IBM-SPSS and various statistical tests were applied including LLC, cointegration test diagnostic checks, correlation matrix and PCSE estimation test and sys-GMM. The results of our study showed positive association of dependent variables on the formation of smart cities in Asia. The results of our study have social, political and economic implications.
