Abstract: In cities, a majority of the world’s GDP and global greenhouse gas emissions are generated.\nSustainability has to a great extent, become a priority for the United Nations, climaxing in the\nnew Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015, including a goal for sustainable cities.\nCities are interesting ecosystems that deal with all types of sustainability by adopting different\ntechnologies to transform themselves while making environmental, social, and/or economical\nchanges. With the help of technology, a city has the ability to realize effective business\ndecisions and develop in newer and better ways. In this study, we set out to investigate the\ninfluencers of the role of information systems in SSCs by developing an initial theoretical\nframework based on Technological-Organizational-Environmental (TOE) framework and\nFunctional Affordances and develop this through the analysis of 141 Information Systems (IS)\nsolutions and four interviews. We extend the initial framework with additional attributes\nresulting from the study and propose a revised framework.
