Triangulation Of Quantitative And Qualitative Results Is Used To Improve Validity And Provide Sufficient Strength Against The Bias Of One Method. Findings Prove That Smart And Green City Interventions Have Positive Relationships With Long-term Real Estate Value Growth And Portfolio Resistance, Mediated By The Quality Of Governance And The Maturity Of Digital Infrastructure.
