“…However, with existing known urban challenges has arisen the agenda of open governance and co-production of urban solutions [10]. The new changing landscape of ICT-enabled integrated and bottom-up participatory urban governance is driving expectations of a more effective policy implementation supported by the new legitimacy of the stakeholder coalition and the political capital of the community [11]. The interplay of social and technological innovation is transforming governance of cities, as communities expect more active engagement in the planning of their communities and the visioning of the future of their city.…”

Citizen participation for social innovation and co-creating urban regeneration proposals can be greatly facilitated by innovative IT systems. Such systems can use Open Government Data, visualise urban proposals in 3D models and provide automated feedback on the feasibility of the proposals. Using such a system as a communication platform between citizens and city administrations provides an integrated top-down and bottom-up urban planning and decision-making approach to smart cities. However, generating automated feedback on citizens' proposals requires modelling domain-specific knowledge i.e., vocabulary and rules, which can be applied on spatial and temporal 3D models. This paper presents the European Commission funded H2020 smarticipate project that aims to achieve the above challenge by applying it on three smart cities: Hamburg, Rome and RBKC-London. Whilst the proposed system architecture indicates various innovative features, a proof of concept of the automated feedback feature for the Hamburg use case 'planting trees' is demonstrated. Early results and lessons learned show that it is feasible to provide automated feedback on citizen-initiated proposals on specific topics. However, it is not straightforward to generalise this feature to cover more complex concepts and conditions which require specifying comprehensive domain languages, rules and appropriate tools to process them. This paper also highlights the strengths of the smarticipate platform, discusses challenges to realise its different features and suggests potential solutions.

“…Thus ICT acts here only as a tool for reaching the main goaloptimization of rendered governmental services. So namely administrational reforms must form the basis of relevant changes (Misuraca, Broster, & Centeno, 2012;De, 2008;Alguliev, & Yusifov, 2013;Traunmüller, & Leitner, 2008).…”

“…While reviewing e-government programs conducted in different countries worldwide, it is clear that shortly, in near future e-government will become more citizen-centering, transparency, accessible and more effective with using "one window" principle (Misuraca, Broster, & Centeno, 2012;Wenhua, & Jian, 2010;De, 2008). This is mostly depends on rapid development of ICT and web technologies.…”

“…In fact, there is a number of several literature references being published all over the world [1,2,3,4] which are focused on the features, motivations, models or funding sources, related with the improvement of governance efficiency at local level. They show that the key fact on this matter is the use of ICT, information and communication technologies, as a way of facilitating the cities' management and the daily-life of their dwellers [5,6,7].…”

Abstract. This article discusses the use of information and communication technologies (ICT)at the local level of governance in the field of urban planning. It is based on a literature review, in order to define a set of considerations about their use in the urban context and the challenges ahead on this domain. As a starting point, there is the need of rethinking the local governance through the use of ICT related to cities, focused on the modernization of the processes associated with urban planning. Nowadays, in several societies the paradigm about cities if shifting, from an expansionist way of acting towards a regeneration and rehabilitation approach. In the case of Portugal, the local authorities; the municipalities; are the main responsible for the coordination, and integration of policies with territorial impacts. However, these policies are generally onerous and inefficient, triggering communication and information failures in between local administration and citizens. In this sense, governance should support the decision-making process related to cities' policies, engaging citizens and socio-economic agents. As the main result in this scenario, the use of ICT demonstrates the ability to play an important role in urban planning, by contributing as a simplifying tool, regarding the information and knowledge sharing, gathering local authorities, citizens and socio-economic agents. On the one hand, they promote the reduction of inefficiencies associated to the urban planning process. On the other hand, they boost the development of networks, and consequently the social and territorial cohesion. In summary, the use of ICT infrastructures works as a glue allowing the integration of several intelligence elements of the city, and operating as their base platform. Finally, the literature has revealed that the use of ICT in urban planning should be seen as a means to a wider social goal, and not as an end by itself. With the use of ICT, urban planning authorities are more likely to be aware of the city features in their multiple aspects, being able to define and monitoring the public policies, suitable to each situation, reinforcing the democracy and transparency of local governance.
