Abstract
In recent years, sustainable entrepreneurship, urban entrepreneurship, and sustainable cities have separately gained lots of attention from scholars in different fields. In this article, we emphasize the importance of studying the interaction of entrepreneurship and sustainability in the context of cities. We discuss three promising areas along this line of research: sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystems, entrepreneurial smart cities, and entrepreneurial solutions to sustainable urban growth. We then summarize the papers included in this special issue. These papers make important contributions to the transdisciplinary research at the intersection of entrepreneurship, sustainability, and urban development.
Plain English SummaryIn this article, we emphasize the importance of studying the interaction of entrepreneurship and sustainability in the context of cities. We discuss three promising areas along this line of research: sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystems, entrepreneurial smart cities, and entrepreneurial solutions to sustainable urban growth. More specifically, sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystems focus on actors and factors to facilitate the creation and growth of sustainable or green ventures in communities. Entrepreneurial smart cities are cities that grow their digital capability in infrastructure and other public services through corporate and startup entrepreneurship. And entrepreneurial solutions to sustainable urban growth highlight the transformative roles of entrepreneurs in sustainability-oriented urban development in both developing and developed countries.
