Cities are smart when city and territorial actors have the capacity to optimise the growth of tangible and intangible assets, boost resource productivity and solve emerging problems by adapting to changing demands.

Smart city strategies are influenced by a more bottom-up approach, where the study of citizens' needs and the definition of social, environmental and economic priorities guide the selection of specific enabling technologies through new forms of cooperation and participatory governance or co-governance.

In this case, ICTs are used by city stakeholders as a method to bring people together and promote creativity, innovation, problem solving and, more broadly, social and economic development, while fully respecting the environment and local ecosystems.

Effective and meaningful public participation
is considered essential for:

Enabling democratic and high quality governance.

Strengthening civilian capacity.

Develop and implement programmes effectively and efficiently.

Building public confidence and trust in decisions.

Generate a greater understanding of public problems, concerns, priorities and solutions.

Generate broader support for programmes and initiatives.

Enhance mutual learning through the exchange of information, data and experiences.

Ensure that decisions and policies incorporate knowledge and experience that might otherwise be overlooked.

Reflect a broader range of public concerns and values in decision-making.

Quickly identify potential controversial aspects of an issue and help bring together different points of view to reach consensus in a collaborative way.
