Abstract

There is growing concern that implementing effective governance constitutes a significant element in cities becoming ‘smart’ due to its multidisciplinarity, complexity of urban challenges and multi-stakeholder involvement. It is assumed that in smart city initiatives, new governance modes arise through the interplay of technological artefacts and political and social factors, viewed through a sociotechnical perspective. We also argue that traditional urban governance modes help explain emerging modes and the nature of citizen-government interactions. Thus, a combination of the sociotechnical view with the modes of urban governance as a theoretical approach was used to understand the dynamics of emerging governance modes in smart city initiatives. Two cases were studied using a longitudinal qualitative case study and temporal bracketing analysis for an in-depth understanding. Our findings evidenced that the configuration of the elements, governance mode, information and communication technology (ICT) and types of citizen-government interaction varies from one initiative to another and changes over time, across multiple sociotechnical networks in practice, which leads to emerging new governance modes. We highlight that a new understanding of smart urban governance for sustainable development in the digital age needs to be developed as a dynamic process. Moreover, we identified two emerging governance modes and proposed a dynamic approach to investigate smart urban governance in other contexts.

数字时代的治理:动态智能城市治理模式的出现
由于其多学科性、城市挑战的复杂性和多方利益相关者的参与,实施有效治理成为城市 "智能化 "的一个重要因素,这一点日益受到关注。我们认为,从社会技术的角度来看,在智慧城市倡议中,新的治理模式是通过技术产品与政治和社会因素的相互作用而产生的。我们还认为,传统的城市治理模式有助于解释新出现的模式以及公民与政府互动的性质。因此,我们将社会技术视角与城市治理模式相结合,将其作为一种理论方法来理解智慧城市倡议中新兴治理模式的动态。我们采用纵向定性案例研究和时间括弧分析法对两个案例进行了研究,以深入了解情况。我们的研究结果表明,不同倡议的要素配置、治理模式、信息和通信技术(ICT)以及公民与政府互动的类型各不相同,并且随着时间的推移而变化,在实践中跨越多个社会技术网络,从而形成新的治理模式。我们强调,对数字时代可持续发展的智能城市治理的新理解需要作为一个动态过程来发展。此外,我们还确定了两种新兴的治理模式,并提出了一种动态方法来研究其他背景下的智慧城市治理。

期刊介绍: Government Information Quarterly (GIQ) delves into the convergence of policy, information technology, government, and the public. It explores the impact of policies on government information flows, the role of technology in innovative government services, and the dynamic between citizens and governing bodies in the digital age. GIQ serves as a premier journal, disseminating high-quality research and insights that bridge the realms of policy, information technology, government, and public engagement.
