“…Conversely, public sector institutions are rather guided by the major principle of “public value” (Twizeyimana and Andersson, 2019 ) that is generated by their constituents through the services they offer. A government's key duty is to add value to the people and society at large and this is done through services, laws, regulations, and dedicated policy actions of government (Hui and Hayllar, 2010 ; Pardo et al, 2021 ) such as e-government.…”

This study examined the factors driving the public value of e-government from the viewpoint of the Chinese people. The usage of ICT through e-government systems must generate the adequate corresponding public value that can motivate the acceptance of e-government services. The sample 517 data generated from Chinese citizens were analyzed using AMOS 23 software by undertaking the structural equation model system of analysis. The results show that constructs such as information quality, service parameters, user orientation, efficiency, openness, and responsiveness were significantly related to the public value of e-government. Additionally, the research validated that the public value of e-government has a direct influence on the behavioral intention to adopt e-government services. The managerial and practical implications of these research findings on the public value of e-government and the acceptance of e-government services are dissected meticulously.

“…Cities develop the potential of technologies to identify smart and sustainable solutions in order to improve the quality of life, promoting smartness as a human-centred vision to urban development and innovation in management, governance and policy options, shaping smart urban communities as better places for life, work and play (Lara, Da Costa, Furlan and Yigitcanlar, 2016;Nam and Pardo, 2011). Sustainable urban development relies on a smart city as engine of public value creation (Pardo, Gil-Garcia, Gascó-Hernández, Cook and Choi, 2021), «using a healthy mixture of smart people, policies and technologies» (Yigitcanlar et al, 2019, p. 360). Smart cities develop open innovation (Paskaleva, 2011), empowering the citizen as a proactive co-producer of inclusive and sustainable urban growth, innovation and policies (Martin, Evans and Karvonen, 2018).…”

Cities are constructing a wealthy future, adopting a smart view in order to support urban development and strengthen the intellectual capital for better quality of life within urban communities. Smart city and intellectual capital help shape cities as engines of innovation. The study aims to elucidate how cities adopt a smart city view to shape a sustainable future, enabling all the components of intellectual capital, driving the city as a smart innovative community. Advancing intellectual capital perspectives helps address a management-oriented view to smart city community. Sustainable urban future and innovation rely on smart cities and smart communities. Intellectual capital is a driver of sustainable urban growth and competitiveness. A smart city enables citizen participation and collaborative spaces for innovation. The study elucidates how smart cities contribute to urban development and intellectual capital as a strategic asset for urban innovation. As engines of innovation, cities evolve as smart, collaborative and sustainable communities.

“…As the understanding of what constitutes a smart city evolves, smart cities are increasingly recognized as not just technical but a socio-technical phenomenon that integrates stakeholders, technology, and the environment to create and add value for society [12][13][14][15][16][17]. This perspective perceives technology in smart cities as a means rather than an end, emphasizing the role of citizens not just as consumers or data providers but as important social actors contributing information and different perspectives to decisions on developing smart cities [18][19][20][21][22][23][24].…”

With rapid urbanization, cities worldwide have sought innovative, sustainable solutions such as smart city initiatives to leverage technology and data to better manage this growth and the challenges it brings. Developing smart cities requires multi-stakeholder collaboration, including citizens who, as smart citizens, are aware and capable of using technologies to improve their quality of life and actively and equally contribute to making their cities smarter. This study examines how smart citizens are developed by focusing on the underexplored role of public libraries as community organizations in such efforts. To this end, we use comparative case studies of four U.S. public libraries informed by thirty-seven in-depth interviews with representatives from these libraries, local governments, and external partners. Our findings indicate that by providing inclusive access to advanced technology and training, facilitating civic engagement, and promoting innovation, public libraries can develop citizens who, as smart citizens, have the digital skills, agency, and creativity to actively contribute to smart city development. In doing so, public libraries can bridge digital and social divides and thereby develop smart citizens in a way that furthers inclusive and representative participation of their communities in smart city initiatives.
