Participatory Governance For Smart Cities: Challenges And Perspectives

Authors : Djeddi Sarah .

Abstract

This study examines the challenges and prospects of participatory governance for smart cities. Using a qualitative method, the study investigates how citizen involvement can be successfully incorporated into urban management. The SWOT analysis and the results highlight the benefits of transparency, strengthened democracy, and improved urban life standards. However, challenges remain, including the digital divide and unequal inclusion of citizens. Barcelona and Singapore illustrate two examples of smart cities that successfully implement participatory governance. The most optimistic perspective is the development of the economy and society.
