Why do cities go smart? Investigating the determinants of local engagement with smart cities technologies
The study develops and tests a theoretical framework for the determinants of local engagement with smart cities technologies (SCT). It asserts that the challenges that smart cities solve cannot be fixed by one government alone. In the U.S., all local governments are nested within states that are part of the U.S. federation, which collaboratively address subnational challenges. Using data from ICMA's 2016 Smart Cities Survey, the U.S. Census Bureau, and OLS regressions, the study reveals that horizontal collaborations with the public sector, the private sector, and peers for funding and procurement as well as larger local governments that contribute to cultural diversity and innovation, influence local engagement with SCT. The article identifies policy and managerial implications and offers recommendations for effective public management.
期刊介绍:
Cities offers a comprehensive range of articles on all aspects of urban policy. It provides an international and interdisciplinary platform for the exchange of ideas and information between urban planners and policy makers from national and local government, non-government organizations, academia and consultancy. The primary aims of the journal are to analyse and assess past and present urban development and management as a reflection of effective, ineffective and non-existent planning policies; and the promotion of the implementation of appropriate urban policies in both the developed and the developing world.
