Answer 1

Mbali should NOT take the following action to create a multifaceted research strategy:

Use only urban planning databases to find the most specialized information.

Limiting her search to only urban planning databases would restrict her access to a broad range of materials from other relevant fields such as technology and environmental studies, which are crucial for a comprehensive understanding of smart cities and sustainability. This approach would not contribute to a multifaceted research strategy.
