“…From a theoretical perspective, this research contributes to the recent calls to adopt a socio-technical approach to smart governance (Jiang, 2021;Jiang et al, 2019Jiang et al, , 2020, as the analyzed strategic initiatives transversely include a social component. Furthermore, this research is also consistent with the suggestion of Tomor et al (2021) by empirically contrasting governance patterns in different geographies. Meanwhile, from a public policy perspective, and considering there are only seven Latin American cities included in the Smart City Index 2021 (Bogota, Buenos Aires, Medellin, Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, San Jose and Santiago) (IMD, 2021), our findings might serve to illuminate development/government programs that integrate ICTs, SDGs and solutions for societal problems not only within Latin American cities but also in other regions with similar institutional characteristics.…”

“…However, as smart governance as a term is relatively recent, there is a need to further develop this concept and its adaptations in different contexts. In accordance to Ruhlandt (2018) and Tomor et al (2021), we still need a more systematic understanding of the components of smart governance to eventually propose transformative perspectives through empirical research (Jiang, 2021) that compare governance decisions and patterns in different locations (Ranchod, 2020; Tomor et al , 2021).…”

“…Research on smart cities lacks a systematic understanding of the smart governance components (Ruhlandt, 2018), which should be studied from a transformative perspective considering the geographical context (Jiang, 2021). Systematic work and empirical research are needed to compare smart governance patterns in different locations (Ranchod, 2020; Tomor et al , 2021).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify and analyze the strategic decisions, especially those focused on smart governance, that have been implemented by the cities of Buenos Aires (Argentina), Medellín (Colombia) and Mexico City (Mexico) and how they have impacted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Design/methodology/approach Using a qualitative approach and a descriptive scope, this manuscript follows a multiple case study methodology that was primarily based on the analysis of archival records and documentation using pattern-matching and cross-case synthesis as analytical techniques. Findings Observed cities share three main characteristics when implementing smart governance strategies linked to SDG 16: technology-based solutions to solve recent and long-lasting societal problems; broad, diverse and active citizen participation; and a socio-technical approach toward smart governance and SDG 16. Research limitations/implications This paper points out the linkages between smart governance and SDGs in emerging markets’ smart cities. The findings of this study indicate the need to promote socio-technical approaches – rather than merely technical perspectives – to achieve SDG 16. Hence, citizen participation, open government and co-creation initiatives are key to the promotion of more inclusive and solid institutions. Originality/value The most important contribution of this study is to identify the strategic initiatives developed by three leading smart cities in Latin America from the smart governance point of view and their relationship with the SDGs, which is useful because it contributes to expanding our understanding of smart governance from practical experiences.

The nature of entrepreneurship and its developmental paths in the urban environment are extensively studied in the scientific literature. With a rising interest of scholars in the smart city phenomenon, the role entrepreneurship plays in the development of smart cities became a central topic in academia. However, there is a lack of discussion concerning the specific settings and characteristics of digital entrepreneurship in the smart city scenario. Nowadays, the concept of digital entrepreneurship is considered as a part of the digital entrepreneurial ecosystems (DEE) that provides an environment for effective entrepreneurial activities. Hence, the investigation on how DEE is interconnected with smart cities and how they both can contribute to their mutual development appears both timely and necessary. To reach this research objective, the authors, after giving a clear definition of each component of DEE based on an extensive literature review, consider its interconnection with the smart city model. The connection between the dimensions of a smart city and the structural constituents of DEE is also tracked, highlighting the contribution of each element to the development of a smart city. Through the creation of a comprehensive framework, the results of the paper show clearly that DEE is an inevitable part of a smart city environment. The research also covers the model of DEE engagement in smart city architecture.

“…The existing research explores multi-layered institutional influencing arguing that institutions on multiple scales interact and alter each other's impact on the smart governance. These interactive dynamics logically determine the institutional factors shaping smart governance in diverse city contexts [36,37]. Smart governance is citizen centric [38] and citizens are vital drivers of urban transformation actively engaging in all processes [39].…”

Nowadays cities face numerous challenges amplified to build necessary urban municipal and community capacity to ensure sustainability transformation to respond to the local and global challenges of climate change, inequality, and access to resources. This research combines the study fields of sustainability, economic development, governance of sustainability transformation, providing the multidisciplinary approach as a systemic-oriented view encompassing the social, technological and ecological aspects of urban transformation. The purpose of the paper is to explore how the concept of urban transformation could be operationalized for research of economic development under the economic strain assuming the emergency of Covid-19 grand challenge. The research methods used are a systematic literature review and the content analysis. The paper provides a detailed characterization of the urban transformation exploring this concept from the structure and system perspectives for the economic exit from the crisis.
