A chapter in Smart Technologies for Smart Governments, 2018, pp 1-18 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The availability of ubiquitous ICT infrastructures in smart cities stimulates the development of new services and applications, and creates environments more efficient in collaborative problem-solving and innovation. This chapter looks at the use of new technologies by city governments in smart cities with the aim at improving e-services and at facilitating the participation of citizenry in the process of making decisions in the public arena. To achieve this aim, we have revised the ICTs that smart cities included in the EUROCITIES network are using to deliver public services and to promote e-participation in the city management. Findings indicate the need of improving in active participation into these cities with the aim at creating public value. Else, city governments could be only reproducing old mechanisms in new technological environments.
