Abstract: This paper aims to analyse an initiative of a multidisciplinary group that co-produced guidelines for interventions in a public park, under the lens of the multidimensional smart city framework proposed by Yigitcanlar et al. (2018). For this analysis we used the action research method to collectively create solutions for this city asset. With the results, it is possible to state that the group's work took place as a collective co-production. Regarding the framework proposal, the community represented the mobilising force which contributed to another driver's development, public policies; whereas the technology aspect had a modest representation as a tool. In the group members evaluation, the perceived value of collective work stood out. The action research methodology was adequate, converging with the co-production and smart cities stages presented in the literature.
