“…The characteristics of all the included 56 studies broadly fall into three categories: (i) studies that focus on in-depth analysis of smart city development process or policy process in a particular jurisdiction [28,, (ii) surveys of citizens and experts regarding their views/opinions/preferences on smart cities adoption [3,[67][68][69][70][71][72][73], and (iii) theorising/conceptualising the developmental trends of smart cities in the context of developing countries [74,75]. While most studies focus on the macropolicy implementation of smart cities, some studies dive into explaining the process of adopting a particular smart systems such as the incorporation of digital platform or ICT into public services [33,55,58,70], adoption of intelligent transport systems [61,[76][77][78], and the adoption of IoT in public services [39,67]. Appendix A provides more detailed information about the 56 studies including country/initiative studied, method of the study and the aims/objectives of the study.…”

“…Building a strong regulatory environment that fosters the confidence of investors and the trust of citizens is another key driver of smart city development in developing countries [63,69,70,73,77,83]. To realise this, the government needs to take active steps to lay out clear sets of laws, regulations, and policies that guide smart city development [63,83].…”

“…Besides, having strong and transparent regulatory institutions will enable the government to build the trust of citizens [69,70,73] and the confidence of investors [73]. Some of the fundamental issues that government has to confront in the development of the smart city are the privacy and security issues stemming from the use of ITenabled services and the massive amount of data collected by IoT [69,70,77]. To build trust, the government needs to enact privacy laws that respond to the concerns of citizens and investors on data privacy and security breaches.…”

“…To build trust, the government needs to enact privacy laws that respond to the concerns of citizens and investors on data privacy and security breaches. In particular, clear institutional arrangements for data collection and data sharing integrated from different sources are important [77]. These arrangements should spell out the details of ethical standards and safety procedures corresponding to the various privacy and security risks.…”

“…These arrangements should spell out the details of ethical standards and safety procedures corresponding to the various privacy and security risks. For instance, important issues to address include stipulating who has the rights to data ownership and data access, which party is liable for data breaching, and who should benefit from the profits generated by data [77].…”

Smart City Governance in Developing Countries: A Systematic Literature Review

2020

Smart cities that make broad use of digital technologies have been touted as possible solutions for the population pressures faced by many cities in developing countries and may help meet the rising demand for services and infrastructure. Nevertheless, the high financial cost involved in infrastructure maintenance, the substantial size of the informal economies, and various governance challenges are curtailing government idealism regarding smart cities. This review examines the state of smart city development in developing countries, which includes understanding the conceptualisations, motivations, and unique drivers behind (and barriers to) smarty city development. A total of 56 studies were identified from a systematic literature review from an initial pool of 3928 social sciences literature identified from two academic databases. Data were analysed using thematic synthesis and thematic analysis. The review found that technologyenabled smart cities in developing countries can only be realised when concurrent socioeconomic, human, legal, and regulatory reforms are instituted. Governments need to step up their efforts to fulfil the basic infrastructure needs of citizens, raise more revenue, construct clear regulatory frameworks to mitigate the technological risks involved, develop human capital, ensure digital inclusivity, and promote environmental sustainability. A supportive ecosystem that encourages citizen participation, nurtures start-ups, and promotes public-private partnerships needs to be created to realise their smart city vision.
