Chapter Chapter 5 in Understanding Smart Cities: A Tool for Smart Government or an Industrial Trick?, 2017, pp 215-262 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Governing a city means that city politicians and administrators try to keep the city operational in terms of utility service provision, law enforcement and political decisions’ implementation. This term is also names as “urban governance”, which is defined as “a political response to broader developments in society, such as globalization, internationalization, and privatization”. This chapter shows that the development of a smart city requires careful planning and dedicated implementation management processes. Two alternative managerial approaches are followed, the first of which views the smart city as a project, while the second considers smart city as innovation. Moreover, this chapter clarifies the meaning of smart city governance and differentiates from smart governance. However, it does not focus on an existing smart city operational management (e.g., organization definition for smart city monitoring), although all existing smart cities have adopted several corresponding types (municipal ownership or PPP).
