Supplementary file 1_Toward climate-resilient cities: advancing sustainable and inclusive urban development through smart technologies in South-Western Nigeria.docx

The objectives were to: (i) To assess the effectiveness and perceived performance of Adaptive Urban Service Delivery (AUSD); (ii) To assess the level of Adaptive Urban Services Delivery (AUSD) within smart environments; (iii) To identify and empirically validate the underlying dimensions and interrelationships of Adaptive Urban Service Delivery (AUSD); (iv) To determine the relative effects and contributions of Adaptive Urban Service Delivery (AUSD) to promote Smart Urban Environments (SUE); (v) To evaluate Urban Service Satisfaction (USS) and qualitative assessment of Urban Inclusivity (UI) across the eight case study cities in Southwestern Nigeria.

Survey data from 402 respondents were analyzed using SPSS Version 22 through descriptive statistics, Chi-square analysis, multiple regression, one-way ANOVA, and Tukey HSD post hoc tests. The regression analysis revealed that resilience (β = 0.357, p < 0.001) was the strongest predictor of Adaptive Urban Services Delivery (AUSD), followed by inclusivity (β = 0.291, p < 0.001), Population Growth Management (PGM) (β = 0.236, p < 0.001), Infrastructure Demands (ID) (β = 0.214, p < 0.001), and Climate Change Impacts (CCI) (β = 0.188, p < 0.001).
