Smart City Governance". The content of this book is intended to
contribute prior research facing the discussion about the future trend
on governance into the Smart Cities focusing on the two main pillars of
Smart Cities: Technology and People. It will provide theoretical and
empirical underpinnings regarding the governance and functioning of the
Smart Cities in the future.
The book will provide theoretical perspectives and practical experiences
on smart governance for smart cities as well as studies regarding the
new emerging technologies like Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, Big
Data, Internet of Things (IoT), etc., and its use and/or impact on smart
governance. It will present a balanced linkage between research,
policies and practices on this area.
