This book will provide one of the first comprehensive approaches to
the study of smart city governments with theories and concepts for
understanding and researching 21st century city governments
innovative methodologies for the analysis and evaluation of smart
city initiatives. The term "smart city" is now generally used to
represent efforts that in different ways describe a comprehensive
vision of a city for the present and future. A smarter city infuses
information into its physical infrastructure to improve
conveniences, facilitate mobility, add efficiencies, conserve
energy, improve the quality of air and water, identify problems and
fix them quickly, recover rapidly from disasters, collect data to
make better decisions, deploy resources effectively and share data
to enable collaboration across entities and domains. These and
other similar efforts are expected to make cities more intelligent
in terms of efficiency, effectiveness, productivity, transparency,
and sustainability, among other important aspects. Given this
changing social, institutional and technology environment, it seems
feasible and likeable to attain smarter cities and by extension,
smarter governments: virtually integrated, networked,
interconnected, responsive, and efficient. This book will help
build the bridge between sound research and practice expertise in
the area of smarter cities and will be of interest to researchers
and students in the e-government, public administration, political
science, communication, information science, administrative
sciences and management, sociology, computer science, and
information technology. As well as government officials and public
managers who will find practical recommendations based on rigorous
studies that will contain insights and guidance for the
development, management, and evaluation of complex smart cities and
smart government initiatives.
