Abstract
Smart living is one of the key factors directly linked to the efficiency and effectiveness of residential neighbourhoods. This study reviewed previous literature examining the relationship between smart living and neighbourhood efficiency to develop a comprehensive theoretical framework. The research problem was identified as the knowledge gap regarding the impact of smart living on enhancing neighbourhood efficiency and increasing its value within the urban fabric. The study aimed to identify key indicators for achieving smart living, including safety, security, digital supervision, control mechanisms, and the main indicators for neighbourhood efficiency, such as efficient spatial orientation and a pedestrian-oriented smart transportation environment. The study employed a quantitative approach to collect and analyse data, using a simple regression model to measure the statistical significance of smart living and its impact on neighbourhood efficiency. The results indicated that a one-unit increase in smart living raises efficiency by 0.824, and the independent variable "smart living" explained 37% of the variation in efficiency. Additionally, the findings revealed that smart living improves daily quality of life by providing a more sustainable environment.
