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.
