“By using what digital strategies can cities
effectively involve citizens and companies in
the policy and development process of the
city in order to become a smarter city?”
Technology driven towards more integral approach.
The involvement of citizens and other non-
governemental actors is essential. Smart Citizens
play a crucial role in cities by their participation in
smart Governance. (Granier et al, 2016)

SMART
CITY= ICT
IBM (Harrison, 2010) :

Caragliu, Del Bo & Nijkamp (2009, p.50) :

B e s t p r a c t i c e s
• Participation ladders seem to have shortcomings in describing participatorygovernance
• Castells terminology of the networkedsociety is of increasing importance
• That seems more complex than the twoway relation citizen Governement

Social Smart City Framework
C o n c l u s i o n
• The framework provides a more refined way to look at digital strategies to become smart cities.
• The framework gives a broader perspective on participatory governance than a two-way relationship between citizen and government
• However, further development is needed.
D i s c u s s i o n
• Underpinning of various strategies with empirical data.
• Perhaps other best practices could be identified that could enhance the explanatory function of the framework
• The complexity of the ownership, leadership and decision making processes in our future cities will be tremendously high
