Abstract: Abstract What is the path to smarter cities that can make data-driven decisions? In a context where data have been vastly advertised as a solution to many problems, the application of big data analytics (BDA) in government is a trending topic. As a topic and potential strategy, data is on the agenda of researchers and policy-makers worldwide, based on the hope that the use of data and technology could enable better quality of life in communities and cities. This chapter analyzes the potential of BDA for local governments, particularly in the context of smart city initiatives. The chapter also proposes an integrative framework to better understand all the components of these concepts and their interrelationships. The overall goal is to discuss what it means to cities to use data in practice, what challenges could be anticipated, and how some of those challenges could be mitigated. This will also contribute to a better explanation of the role of information sharing, integration, and collaboration in BDA and its potential to generate public value in smart city initiatives.
