The way citizens interact with cities affects overall life quality. Their participation in social decisions is of paramount importance for helping on public decisions that affect governance, regulation and education. This interaction has the potential of being boosted within the scope of smart and digital cities, especially by recent advances in blockchain technology. This work introduces insights about how smart cities’ concepts and innovative technologies can help society to face daily challenges for improving citizens’ awareness. Digital technologies are able to drive social and economic development by employing Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to promote innovation. In this context, e-governance, in conjunction with disruptive concepts such as blockchain, is showing up as a fundamental tool for a decentralized democracy. This study reviews, discusses, raises open points and presents suggestions towards an efficient, transparent and sustainable use of technology, applied to future cities.

“…The critical scholarship on smart cities has resulted in the creation of new kinds of macro-level governance or collaboration models in smart city scholarship. Many smart city developments rely, and have relied on, the interplay of government and the private sector [8], or the so-called triple helix model of innovation of Leydesdorff and Etzkowitz [31], which focuses on the interactions between academia, industries and governments. However, more comprehensive models have since been developed that recognize the importance of the third sector.…”

Since 2014, a growing body of critical research has pointed out flaws in smart city development. It has been described as too technology-led and business-oriented, diminishing citizens' agency and causing digital divides. As the agenda keeps spreading, there is an urgent need to develop more participatory, inclusive and bottom-up approaches to balance interests of those currently in strong power positions, such as large corporations. Participatory design (PD) and participatory approaches in general have been suggested as a remedy, but they often tend to be local, small-scale and short-term. Therefore, their impacts are often modest as well. We suggest that we need to start thinking about ways to create scalable approaches that would grow the temporal and spatial impact of actions and practices that intend to increase citizens' understanding and control over new technologies, i.e. their technological agency. Without making sure that more people have adequate knowledge and sufficient control and mastery of technologies, societal discussion and ultimately, political decisions, are left to few experts. We explore the potential of public libraries to act as an ally and cooperation partner in participatory design and technology education in general, with a significant potential to broaden micro-level actions' impact.

“…Takie miasta z definicji dysponują zasobniejszym i priorytetowym budżetem (Anand, Navío-Marco, 2018, pp. 795-799), który ułatwia rozwiązywanie wielu problemów infrastrukturalnych i technologicznych, a tym samym umożliwia dynamiczniejszy rozwój (Caragliu, Del Bo, 2018). Niemniej jednak tak dużymi aglomeracjami miejskimi trudno się zarządza, co może doprowadzić do opóźnień informacyjnych, awarii, niekontrolowanych zachowań społecznych i innych patologii organizacyjnych, które rzadziej spotyka się w małych miasteczkach z aspiracjami bycia "smart".…”

Streszczenie: W niniejszym artykule analizie poddaje się sytuację polskich jednostek samorządu terytorialnego w kontekście rozwoju inteligentnych miast próbując odpowiedzieć na następujące problemy badawcze: Czy małe miasto może być smart? i Czy kreowanie inteligentnych miast nie pogłębia różnic społeczno-gospodarczych pomiędzy regionami? Z międzynarodowych rankingów dotyczących inteligentnych miast wynika bowiem jednoznacznie, że smart city to jednostka o dominującym regionalnym potencjale demograficznym, technologicznym oraz ekonomicznym. W artykule wykorzystano studia literaturowe z zakresu inteligentnych miast oraz analizę struktury budżetów i dochodów gmin w Polsce. Słowa kluczowe: inteligentne miasto, finansowanie jednostek samorządu terytorialnego, dochody gmin.
