Smart City Governance examines public domain activities and services in the digital age, evaluating all facets of smart city e-governance that fosters a cohesive understanding for the emerging generation of advanced "digital natives. Exploring the tensions between political science and jurisprudence theories with the principles of societies and their alignment with legal systems, the book examines how governance systems can translate into the digital domain, addressing both the technical and legal dimensions. It offers a model for the technological foundation of governance, discussing existing technological components. The book concludes with a section on outlooks for further research

In recent years European Commission has developed a set of documents for Members States tracing, directly or indirectly, recommendations for the transformation of the European city. The paper wants to outline which future EU draws for the city, through an integrated and contextual reading of addresses and strategies contained in the last documents, a future often suggested as Smart City. Although the three main documents (Cohesion Policy 2014-2020 of European Community, Digital Agenda for Europe and European Urban Agenda) face the issue of the future development of European cities from different points of view, which are respectively cohesion social, ICT and urban dimension, each of them pays particular attention to urban and territorial dimension, identified by the name of Smart City. In other words, the paper aims at drawing the scenario of evolution of Smart Cities that can be delineated through the contextual reading of the three documents. To this end, the paper is divided into three parts: the first part briefly describes the general contents of the three European economic plan tools; the second part illustrates the scenarios for the future of the European city contained in each document; the third part seeks to trace the evolution of the Smart Cities issue developed by the set of the three instruments, in order to provide the framework of European Community for the near future of our cities. ; Negli ultimi anni la Commissione Europea ha elaborato una serie di documenti per gli Sati Membri che tracciano, direttamente o indirettamente, indirizzi per la trasformazione della città europea. Il paper vuole tentare di delineare quale futuro l'Unione Europea traccia per la città attraverso la lettura integrata e contestuale di indirizzi e strategie contenuti negli ultimi documenti, futuro spesso indicato sotto il nome di Smart City. Sebbene i tre principali documenti (la Politica di Coesione 2014-2020 della Comunità Europea, un'Agenda Digitale per l'Europa e l'Agenda Urbana Europea) affrontino il tema del futuro sviluppo degli Stati Europei da differenti punti di vista, quali rispettivamente coesione sociale, ICT e dimensione urbana, ognuno di essi dedica particolare attenzione alla dimensione urbana e territoriale, individuata sotto il nome di Smart City. L'obiettivo del paper è, in altre parole, tracciare lo scenario di evoluzione delle Smart Cities che può essere delineato attraverso la lettura contestuale dei tre documenti. A tal fine il paper si articola in tre parti: la prima parte descrive brevemente i contenuti generali dei tre strumenti di programmazione europea; la seconda parte illustra gli scenari per il futuro della città europea contenuti in ciascun documento; la terza parte cerca di tracciare le linee evolutive che l'insieme dei tre strumenti offre in tema di Smart Cities al fine di fornire il quadro di riferimento della Comunità Europea per il prossimo futuro delle nostre città.

Der Autor möchte am Beispiel des deutschen Großstädtesystems einen Weg aufzeigen, wie der Governance-Ansatz im Zusammenwirken verschiedener Fachwissenschaften für die Analyse der Steuerung großstädtischer Entwicklungen und Politik fruchtbar gemacht werden kann. Er geht auf veränderte Governance-Strukturen ein, die sich zwischen Wettbewerb, Hierarchien und Kooperation bewegen. Sein Beitrag beruht auf einem über mehrere Jahre angelegten Forschungsprojekt über verschiedene Aspekte des Regierens großer Städte. Diese Arbeiten mündeten in eine empirische Untersuchung über zentrale Strategien, das Management und die Chancen der Mitbestimmung bei der Modernisierung der deutschen Großstädte. Die Untersuchung wurde in den Jahren 2002-2005 in den 15 größten deutschen Städten, d. h. in den Städten mit mehr als 450.000 Einwohnern durchgeführt. Während das Projekt vor allem den Zeithorizont zwischen der Wiedervereinigung Deutschlands und der Jahrtausendwende erfasste, bezieht der vorliegende Beitrag auch den Wechsel der regulativen Politik durch die neue Bundesregierung der Großen Koalition mit ein. Die empirischen Analysen erstreckten sich in den deutschen Großstädten auf die Politikfelder der Stadtentwicklung, der urbanen Demokratie, der Verwaltungsmodernisierung und der Arbeitsbeziehungen. Die Steuerungsdynamiken der sozioökonomischen Entwicklungsbedingungen und der staatlichen Rahmenbedingungen wurden als externe Variablen einbezogen. (ICI2)
AbstractFor Lisbon, a dominant national capital and increasingly internationalized city, the last 30 years have witnessed a period of dramatic growth, modernization and dynamism. As the socioeconomic landscape has changed, so too has the political and institutional one, with a significant evolution in the nature of systems of governance to manage, respond to and lead the city through this period of intense transition. Whilst increased global and particularly European integration has been an important driver to change, critically it has been the interplay of these global forces with the role and constitution of the national state and political developments at the level of the city, region and municipality that has shaped the evolutionary path of governance change. This article analyses recent governance change within Lisbon to argue that governance transition within Lisbon is characterized by significant change with regard to the relationships between public and private sectors, but also by strong continuities with regard to the dominant role of the central state in the absence of political devolution. The result is a governance system marked by structural constraints that limit the city's capacity to deal with current strategic challenges in an integrated, coordinated and inclusionary manner.
India's cities are in the midst of an unprecedented urban expansion. While India is acknowledged as a rising power, poised to emerge into the front rank of global economies, the pace and scale of its urbanisation calls for more effective metropolitan management if that growth is not to be constrained by gathering urban crisis. This book addresses some key issues of governance and management for India's principal urban areas of Mumbai, Kolkata and Hyderabad. As three of the greatest Indian cities, they have evolved in recent decades into large metropolitan regions with complex, overlapping and ...
The article presents survey of research conducted on the behalf of Klaipeda city municipality, which had toevaluate expediency of municipality governance decentralisation by establishing new neighbourhoods. Theconclusions were made on the base of results of representative pool of 250 inhabitants of Klaipeda city and 23experts. The research showed that legal regulations provide possibilities for city governance decentralisation by establishingnew neighbourhoods, but satisfactory administrative and financial self-government means for that arenot established. Inhabitants and experts positively evaluated activity of Klaipeda city municipality by decidingdeals related to city development and improving living surround. Majority of respondents did notwelcome establishment of new neighbourhoods. At same time, they sustained formation of institute of representativesof living societies and improving their impact to government of the city.
The radical political and economic reforms sweeping through former socialist countries during the last several decades have facilitated economic growth and urbanization. During this period of market reform and urbanization, citizen participation is greatly needed yet easily lost to other priorities. We employ stakeholder theory to examine whether citizen participation differs between large and small cities and between the poor and non-poor people in Vietnam. Using data from a sample of citizens in five centrally managed cities, we found that citizens in large cities and citizens that belong to "unofficially poor" groups participate less. For policy makers, this implies that citizen participation should be of central importance in the management of current cities' expansions. In addition, the categorization of "poor households" needs to be closely monitored to minimize the risk of de facto poor households being excluded from the group. ; UNDP Vietnam
