“…In this sense, there have been efforts in bringing more proximity between government and citizens [84][85][86]. Connected by a new era of information technologies, the SC drives a strong trend for decentralizing democracies [87], as mentioned by Roberts (2004) [88]. Decentralizing the decision-making process implies distributing decisions, a strategy that has been mainly adopted using the paradigm of Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) [89,90] concepts.…”

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.

“…What is expected, in terms of democratic innovation, is a shared decision-making process that means expanding the civil autonomy and public relations [100]. This provides space for e-government [101], and even possibilities of Internet voting [102,103], legislative and juridical decision-making [87,104] and public petitioning.…”

“…All these changes have potential to strengthen open spaces for discussions and to increase the number of citizens interested in participating in web politics [17]. Coelho et al [18] described a system that could handle legislative and judicial processes with social participation throughout a multi-criteria analysis of all persons involved in the process. However, no work from the literature has yet tackled how this modern concept of digital interaction can be boosted in a direct way to motivate society to handle the economic aspects of the current political administration.…”

This paper introduces state-of-the-art possibilities for using smart contracts capabilities for governance. Assisted by blockchain, the use of these tools can provide a transition that society currently needs due the huge amount of information that reaches citizens. The core mechanism of this study lies within the scope of smart accounts and digital identities. These topics enclose smart cities trends that seek to increase citizens’ participation in the social decision making process, in a transparent way that is usually managed throughout decentralized systems. We define a set of available features that can automatically guide the flow of resources, after the conclusions of voting processes also conducted on trusted environments of distributed ledgers. By presenting innovative ideas and didactically describing the possibilities, we aim to promote awareness of blockchain capabilities among readers, students, decisions makers and, mainly, the younger generation.

“…The phenomenon of the creation of apps and online services by individuals also spreads to the legal profession with the diffusion of apps and online technologies that are ideated by lawyers for justice professionals and citizens (Hamm 2013;Gershowitz 2019). The development of legal technology conceived by lawyers enriches the justice environment with more and more diffusion of increasingly complex technology, such as artificial intelligence systems, smart contracts, digital identity, and blockchain systems for supporting justice professionals (Coelho et al 2019).…”

The smart city literature states that three levels of institutional layers (regulatory, normative, and cognitive) and four typologies of actors (government, universities, citizens, and the private sector) support private initiative for developing smart technologies. Focusing on the emergent phenomenon of smart apps ideated by lawyers’ private initiatives, this paper acknowledges that other factors, including the ubiquity of mobile technologies and the absence of effective public services provided by public institutions, contribute to the institutional and organizational humus necessary for the creation of intelligent technological proposals. In the light of the organizational theory framework, and based on the analysis of the literature on smart cities and e-justice and on the empirical investigation of two Italian lawyers’ apps (Collega and Anthea), this paper identifies the institutional, organizational, and technological conditions under which smart technologies are being developed in high-regulated public institutions’ contexts as justice systems. The findings of the study described in this paper help integrate the contribution of the literature on the topic.
