“…Realising this objective will require governments to resolve the issue of fragmented authority and exert strong political will to ensure the effective enforcement of the smart city governance framework. To deal with volatility and policy uncertainty in governing novel technology in smart cities, governments in developing countries need to be strongly adaptive towards changing circumstances by maintaining the stability of governance structures and by being agile in contextualising policies that have worked in other countries and modifying them to suit local conditions [96,97].…”

Smart cities that make broad use of digital technologies have been touted as possible solutions for the population pressures faced by many cities in developing countries and may help meet the rising demand for services and infrastructure. Nevertheless, the high financial cost involved in infrastructure maintenance, the substantial size of the informal economies, and various governance challenges are curtailing government idealism regarding smart cities. This review examines the state of smart city development in developing countries, which includes understanding the conceptualisations, motivations, and unique drivers behind (and barriers to) smarty city development. A total of 56 studies were identified from a systematic literature review from an initial pool of 3928 social sciences literature identified from two academic databases. Data were analysed using thematic synthesis and thematic analysis. The review found that technologyenabled smart cities in developing countries can only be realised when concurrent socioeconomic, human, legal, and regulatory reforms are instituted. Governments need to step up their efforts to fulfil the basic infrastructure needs of citizens, raise more revenue, construct clear regulatory frameworks to mitigate the technological risks involved, develop human capital, ensure digital inclusivity, and promote environmental sustainability. A supportive ecosystem that encourages citizen participation, nurtures start-ups, and promotes public-private partnerships needs to be created to realise their smart city vision.

“…The rulemaking process is an example of an established governance system that has encountered tensions between adapting to the demand for more participatory practices and working within "well-define and strictly applied rules, polices and organizational hierarchies" (Janssen & van der Voort, 2016). As a way to overcome these tensions, agencies developed collaborations with academic and civil society researchers.…”

Rulemaking, the process through which United States (U.S.) federal government agencies develop major health, safety and economic regulations, was an early target of electronic government (e-government) efforts. Because it was an established decision-making process that had substantial formal requirements of transparency, public participation and responsiveness it seemed a perfect target for technology-supported participatory policymaking. It was believed that new technologies could transform rulemaking, increasing its democratic legitimacy and improving its policy outcomes by broadening the range of participating individuals and groups (Brandon and Carlitz, 2003;Coglianese, 2004;Noveck, 2004). Despite the promise of a more deliberative and democratic process, rulemaking efforts have failed to produce broader meaningful public engagement. In this paper we examine if lack of adoption of participatory eRulemaking platforms can be explained by the disruption to agencies' established rulemaking practices. We will consider how agencies react to technological innovation as a risk due to their deep-rooted organizational cultures and the impact of judicial and political oversight. We will provide examples of agency risk and culture, including from our own experiences with RegulationRoom, a socio-technological participation platform that has facilitated public participation in six federal rulemakings. We will also draw on a comparison of for-profit 2 businesses and rulemaking agencies in thinking about motivation to adopt (or avoid) new technologies.

“…La gobernabilidad puede ser abordada analíticamente describiendo las instituciones como generadoras de patrones que rigen las actividades de los actores sociales, políticos y administrativos, enfatizando los procesos para guiar, dirigir, controlar o gestionar sectores o facetas de sociedades. Mientras que la gobernanza convencional se basa en recursos confiables, creencia en el control de la información y poder (Ayogu y Bayat, 2010;Janssen y Voort, 2016;Soma et al, 2016). El gobierno de TI aborda las nuevas formas de gobernar a través de la información y el cambio que se genera debido a nuevos flujos de información que aparecen en la era de la información.…”

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ResumenEl objetivo del artículo es presentar los resultados relacionados con el estado y avance del gobierno de Tecnologías de la Información (TI) y el uso y prácticas de dichas TI en las entidades públicas de las ciudades capitales del triángulo del café de Colombia. Se realizó una valoración por medio de encuesta, la cual fue aplicada a 39 entidades públicas de esta región. Se desarrolló el estudio desde una óptica inductiva y con un tipo de estudio descriptivo exploratorio y correlacional. Se concluye que el gobierno de TI con el uso y apropiación de TI deben avanzar en su consolidación y desarrollo. Se espera que, con los resultados presentados, se puedan desarrollar programas de mejoramiento entre universidades públicas y las entidades para alcanzar los niveles que se espera en este campo. AbstractThe objective of this article is to present the results of a study related to the present state and advance of Information Technology governance and the use and practices of IT in the public entities of the capital cities of the Colombian coffee triangle. An evaluation was carried out by means of a survey, which was applied to 39 public entities of this region. The study was developed from an inductive perspective and with a descriptive exploratory and correlational study. It is concluded that IT governance with the use and appropriation of IT should advance in its consolidation and development. It is hoped that with the results presented, it will be possible to develop improvement programs between public universities and local public entities to reach the levels expected in this field.
