A chapter in E-Participation in Smart Cities: Technologies and Models of Governance for Citizen Engagement, 2019, pp 205-213 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The context of SCs favors the technological and innovative spaces to increase the citizen participation. In this book, we have tried to analyze what are the models and the circumstances under which public managers and politicians work to implement SCs. The contributions in this book have highlighted that governments have tried to offer different tools to improve citizen participation in the process of taking public decisions. However, their attitude is no active and is not in favor of citizen participation with the aim at sharing their ideas, comments, suggestions, compliances and experiences. Maybe, it will be necessary to implement systems, projects and initiatives that try to involve the citizenry in the design of public services. Also, it may be necessary cooperation initiatives such as crowdsourcing and Living Labs that contribute to the creation of innovative ideas and solutions, tending towards the common good.
