A chapter in E-Participation in Smart Cities: Technologies and Models of Governance for Citizen Engagement, 2019, pp 23-35 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The environment and context of SCs has favoured the technological and innovative spaces to increase the citizen participation which enables the participation and cooperation among governments, citizens and organizations. Nonetheless, despite the relevance of this topic, scholars have highlighted that little research has focused on actual practices of citizen involvement in smart cities so far. This way, this chapter seeks to look at the use of new technologies by city governments in SCs with the aim at improving e-participation of citizenry in the process of making decisions in the public arena. In particular, this study seeks to put focus on the governmental SCs initiatives, platforms, applications, and so on, that favour the e-Participation of citizenry in European SCs.
