“…Gil-Garcia, Pardo, and Nam (2016) show that a Smart City needs a smart government and governance, that is, it is not limited to a technological issue but refers to a complex process of institutional change, as also mention, even as ICT benefits several cities in improving their governance. Smart governance broadly represents a collection of technologies, people, policies, practices, resources, social norms, and information that interact to support the city's governance activities (Chourabi et al, 2012).…”

Society lives in a dynamic, complex, and contradictory urban system that seeks the balance between urban development and environmental preservation. For this purpose, there are Information and Communication Technologies which can make the existence of Smart Cities possible. Thus, developing Smart Cities involves applying inter and multidisciplinary knowledge, which permeates even Information Science. This study analyzes Latin American scientific production by applying Bibliometrics to quantify the publications related to smart cities, geotechnologies, governance, and cadastre. We analyzed scientifi c productionindexed in the Scopus database from 2007 to 2017. We also performed the Factorial Correspondence Analysis for visualization of word clusters in order to verify their co-occurrence in the abstracts of articles. The results identifi ed Brazil as the country with the highest number of published documents. The importance of the term “Smart Cities” was evidenced with the increase of production in the last 5 years, a period that accumulates 98% of such publications. The most common term is “Geographic Information System”, that appears in 75% of the publications. Finally, in the co-occurrence of words, we identifi ed terms that corroborate with the greater objectives of smart cities.

“…The few studies on this topic suggest that models of smart city PPPs are still in the making but there is a prevalence of top-down over bottom-up arrangements (with a stronger public or private roles, respectively; Rodríguez-Bolívar, 2015;Angelidou, 2017). Some argue that the infusion of the private sector into public projects has led to private corporations acquiring undue influence in defining and solving urban problems (Brenner and Theodore, 2002;Grossi and Pianezzi, 2017;Hollands, 2015;Lombardi and Vanolo, 2015;Vanolo, 2014).…”

“…In particular, "smart collaboration" calls for local governments to partner with companies to address wicked urban problems, such as population health, pollution, and climate change (Koppenjan et al, 2004). Despite "smart collaboration" being seen as a distinctive characteristic of smart cities (Appio et al, 2019;Nesti, 2020;Rodríguez-Bolívar, 2015), we know little about how public and private actors collaborate to transform a city into a smart city (Rodríguez-Bolívar, 2015). The collaborative model of public-private partnerships (PPPs) has offered a blueprint for the development of smart city projects but there is little literature exploring its adoption in the smart city context (Liu et al, 2020;Ruhlandt, 2018).…”

Previous studies have overlooked how partnerships between public and private actors (PPPs) play out as an effect of cultural and historical conditions in the context of a smart city. Our analysis investigates the peculiar context of Japan, where smart city initiatives stem from a historically and culturally embedded “partnership” between government and businesses. Unlike other smart city settings, the adoption of a neoliberal logic of an all-embracing market world by prioritizing business interests over other civic issues is not inevitable. This paper contributes to the literature on PPPs and smart cities by presenting the case of a partnership between public and private actors that overcomes the antagonistic and transactional relationship problematized in previous studies. We demonstrate that the workings of PPPs are historically and culturally embedded. Thus, we caution policy-makers against adopting a universal framework for partnerships in smart city initiatives. In the case of Japan, we advocate for long term orientations of projects instead of the short-term goals espoused by smart city initiatives.

“…O conceito de cidade inteligente implica em uma gestão holística, visionária, colaborativa e transparente de recursos consubstanciada pela parceria público-privada, sistemas digitais, disseminação de informação aberta, priorização do capital humano, plataformas integradas, participação e colaboração dos cidadãos [Nam e Pardo 2011] [Gil-Garcia et al 2015] [Rodríguez-Bolívar 2016. Assim, as pesquisas científicas devem desenvolver modelos de governança para enfrentar os desafios da sociedade digital em relação à governança colaborativa, compartilhamento de informações, tomada de decisão baseada em evidências, envolvimento dos cidadãos, transparência e governo aberto [Pereira et al 2018].…”

No contexto da transformação digital, os municípios estão adotando iniciativas de cidades inteligentes nas quais as TIC representam um elemento transversal. Vários estudos abordaram a inteligência das cidades, mas poucos com ênfase em governança das TIC. Assim, este estudo analisou as práticas de governança de TIC em quinze cidades brasileiras mais bem classificadas no índice Cidades Inteligentes Conectadas. A metodologia abrangeu pesquisa nos sites oficiais das cidades, nos portais de transparência e requisições de informação pela Lei Brasileira de Acesso à Informação. Os resultados evidenciaram que a maioria das prefeituras carece de uma abordagem de programa para cidades inteligentes e de boas práticas de governança de TIC, bem como algumas cidades não evidenciaram conformidade com a Lei de Acesso à Informação.
