“…The body of academic knowledge on urban governance has thus far paid limited attention to the practice of international city partnering as instrument for strengthening governance in the South, and a need for further research has been indicated (Hewitt, 1999;Tjandradewi et al, 2006). This paper aims to contribute to overcome this knowledge deficit.…”

“…Development co‐operation through city networking and linking developed further in the 1970s and 1980s, becoming more project‐based and technically oriented (Hafteck 2003). Since then, local policy‐makers have increasingly applied city networking as a mechanism to improve the skills of civil servants and streamline organisations in often poorly functioning local administrations and to improve urban living conditions in general (Hewitt 1999; UNDP 2000; Tjandradewi et al . 2006).…”

Whereas the global networking of cities is commonly understood from a fiscal‐economical and technological perspective explaining world economy and globalisation structures, this paper discusses another viewpoint of city networking in which the exchange of knowledge on urban management and policy‐making is examined. It reviews the policy context and practice of Dutch cities in North‐South city networking and their role in international development co‐operation through the sharing of municipal knowledge and expertise with partner cities in developing countries. Against the background of shifts in development thinking leading to increased acknowledgement of the role of cities in development co‐operation, past and current policies at the national as well as the municipal level are considered that shape the framework for Dutch city networking with the ‘global South’.

“…Parallel to this, there are also advantages in combining diff erent urban contexts, as best practices emerge and catalyze the improvements in some areas (Hewitt , 1999), even in areas wider than a city (Ben Letaifa, 2015).…”

Our purpose is to identify the relevance of participative governance in urban areas characterized by smart cities projects, especially those implementing Living Labs initiatives as real-life settings to develop services innovation and enhance engagement of all urban stakeholders.A research on the three top smart cities in Europe -i.e. Amsterdam, Barcelona and Helsinki -is proposed through a content analysis with NVivo on the offi cial documents issued by the project partners (2012)(2013)(2014)(2015) to investigate their Living Lab initiatives.The results show the increasing usefulness of Living Labs for the development of more inclusive smart cities projects in which public and private actors, and people, collaborate in innovation processes and governance for the co-creation of new services, underlining the importance of the open and ecosystem-oriented approach for smart cities.
