“…Planners and operators committed to a stronger role for public transport in cities should further develop their social media strategies in how they communicate with citizens on social media as identified in a similar context for Sydney (Williamson and Ruming 2019). They must also consider the ways they choose to collect, monitor, and analyze social media data in meaningful and participatory ways (Lock et al 2020). As illustrated by this research, a wide array of topics, sentiments, and relationships can be ascertained from social media data and transport data feeds using lowcost models and tools.…”

“…In general, city dashboards can be used to monitor different activities within cities, such as traffic, housing, cultural life or citizen's opinions. They receive data from multiple sources and use information with the purpose of visualization, analysis or control [21]. Social media represents an important source of data in this context because it holds information about the location, behavior, and sentiment of its users.…”

Participatory urban planning enables citizens to make their voices heard in the urban planning process. The resulting measures are more likely to be accepted by the community. However, the participation process becomes more effortful and timeconsuming. New approaches have been developed using digital technologies to facilitate citizen participation, such as topic modeling based on social media. Using Twitter data for the city of Berlin, we explore how social media and topic modeling can be used to classify and analyze citizen opinions. We develop a Social Citizen Dashboard allowing for a better understanding of changes in citizens' priorities and incorporating constant cycles of feedback throughout planning phases. Evaluation interviews indicate the dashboard's potential usefulness and implications as well as point to limitation in data quality and spur further research potentials.

“…Lock et al [20] present a review of urban dashboards and point out that, in general, they are not used as a two-way communication approach with society. It is interesting to note that the existence of dashboards to monitor crime incidence are not found in the text or the references therein.…”

By considering public safety as a relevant component of a smart city framework, the development and use of city dashboards that explore the spatio-temporal monitoring of crime incidence to help local governments base their decision-making process on evidence is becoming more relevant. This research deals with the case study of the state of Aguascalientes, Mexico, whose capital hosts the annual San Marcos Fair, considered the most important fair in the country. By developing an online dynamic platform consisting of several different modules that rely on the use of geovisual analytics for dynamic and interactive data display and exploration, authorities can gain insights about the times and locations of the impact of criminal incidence, detect patterns over space and time, and look into what actions could be put in place. This becomes useful in advancing a circular model of the smart city in which urban processes are observed, data is collected and analyzed, management and decision actions occur, and more data is collected to measure their effectiveness. By comparing statistics for the three year period of 2016–2018, it is found that the second year of the study had a significant decrease in pedestrian crime incidence during the Fair, supporting the use of city dashboards with geovisual analytics to help monitor urban processes and aid authorities in making decisions. Further research is needed to uncover more efficient practices to achieve inter-institutional collaboration and data sharing schemes that adhere to and boost the principles of the smart city.
