Abstract

Smart Governance is a key pillar of the Smart City movement and an important pathway to achieving Sustainable Development Goals through digital transformation and technologic tools. However, the digital transformation is highly contextual and solutions from the Global North may not be adequate to the reality of developing countries. We present how digital tools and policies, as part of the broader agenda for digital transformation, can touch upon several sustainability goals when focused on benefitting vulnerable citizens. Examples come from observing the process, stakeholders and products developed during the Digital Transformation of Ceará between 2019 and 2022. We build a framework that further links those examples with the SDGs and the Brazilian Letter for Smart Cities, a national set of guidelines towards equitable smart transitions. By setting the framework vis-a-vis a grounded experience, we seek to present seven components which can be adapted to other contexts as drivers of a Smart and Sustainable Governance. We argue that, by applying those elements to build digital tools that help governance, it is possible to create solutions that are inherently tied to SDGs.

面向智能治理的数字化转型框架：利用大数据工具实现巴西塞阿拉的可持续发展目标

智慧治理是智慧城市运动的关键支柱，也是通过数字化转型和技术工具实现可持续发展目标的重要途径。然而，数字化转型具有高度的背景性，全球北方的解决方案可能不足以适应发展中国家的现实。作为更广泛的数字化转型议程的一部分，我们介绍了数字工具和政策如何在关注弱势公民的利益时触及几个可持续发展目标。这些例子来自于对2019年至2022年中国数字化转型期间开发的流程、利益相关者和产品的观察。我们建立了一个框架，进一步将这些例子与可持续发展目标和《巴西智慧城市信函》联系起来。《巴西智慧城市信函》是一套旨在实现公平智能转型的国家指导方针。通过将框架与基础经验相比较，我们试图提出七个组成部分，这些组成部分可以作为智能和可持续治理的驱动因素适用于其他背景。我们认为，通过应用这些元素来构建有助于治理的数字工具，有可能创建与可持续发展目标内在联系在一起的解决方案。

期刊介绍： Journal of Urban Management (JUM) is the Official Journal of Zhejiang University and the Chinese Association of Urban Management, an international, peer-reviewed open access journal covering planning, administering, regulating, and governing urban complexity. JUM has its two-fold aims set to integrate the studies across fields in urban planning and management, as well as to provide a more holistic perspective on problem solving. 1) Explore innovative management skills for taming thorny problems that arise with global urbanization 2) Provide a platform to deal with urban affairs whose solutions must be looked at from an interdisciplinary perspective.
