“…Thus, we infer that regencies or cities did not act as disruptors of existing administrative processes, innovating these processes efficiently and social welfare congruently (Serey et al, 2020;Ramirez Lopez and Grijalba Castro, 2021;Okafor et al, 2022). Finally, we reveal that developing a smart city with an unclear mission to be accomplished would not move local citizens to be involved and used as a learning repository (Ma et al, 2018;Tomor et al, 2019;Zhao et al, 2021).…”

This article investigates the lack of certainty regarding the success of smart city development in the Government of Indonesia’s regions. The authors suspect that developing smart cities in each region ran independently and nationally, without a unifying strand of knowledge and information system leadership models. Based on these statuses and circumstances, this research examines these phenomena with two critical perspectives: The cognitive model of double-loop learning of smart city development and a dexterous strategy in terms of political economy. Consequently, this study finds that the regions developing a smart city act according to the statuses: Working with only fiscal budget readiness, cognitive models in the decisions to create future works, excessive caution about accruing potential future benefits, and null regulatory leadership in terms of guidelines. Thus, this study concludes that regions develop smart cities in their self-imagination without profound directional boundaries.

The transport sector is one of the largest contributors of CO2 emissions and other greenhouse gases. In order to achieve the Paris goal of decreasing the global average temperature by 2 ºC, urgent and transformative actions in urban mobility are required. As a sub-domain of the smart-city concept, smart-mobility-solutions integration at the municipal level is thought to have environmental, economic and social benefits, e.g., reducing air pollution in cities, providing new markets for alternative mobility and ensuring universal access to public transportation. Therefore, this article aims to analyze the relevance of smart mobility in creating a cleaner environment and provide strategic and practical examples of smart-mobility services in four European cities: Berlin (Germany), Kaunas (Lithuania), Riga (Latvia) and Tartu (Estonia). The paper presents a systematized literature review about the potential of smart-mobility services in reducing the negative environmental impact to urban environments in various cities. The authors highlight broad opportunities from the European Union and municipal documents for smart-mobility initiatives. The theoretical part is supplemented by socioeconomic and environmental descriptions, as well as experience, related to smart-mobility services in the four cities selected.

“…For example, although the number of smartphone users is very high in Hong Kong, the percentage drops (from over 90% to 68%) when it comes to the elderly. 1 The digital divide, especially among the elderly in Hong Kong, has also been noted (Ma et al, 2018).…”

This essay adopts three accounts (sociological, neoliberal, and cybernetic) of “the social” to get a clearer picture of why there is a barrier faced by the government when implementing contact tracing mobile applications. In Hong Kong's context, the paradox involves declining trust of the government's protection of data privacy and growing concern about data surveillance since the 2019 social unrest I argue that exploring the idea of sociality is valuable in that it re-reconfigures the datafication of pandemic control by revealing different sets of social relations, particularly the asymmetrical power relation between the government and its people. The refusal to download or use the mobile app also shows that the public has a faith in human agency and human resistance in data-saturated cities.
