Abstract

In sharp contrast to perspectives which overestimate the role played by technology in promoting smart cities initiatives, this chapter explores an important dimension for a full development of smart cities, the integration of human dimensions. Based on the theoretical model of Habermasian deliberative democracy, the chapter proposes a revision of the Chourabi et al. (2012) analytical framework for smart cities initiatives, in which people are as important as technology. In particular, we state that success of smart city initiatives depends upon the capability of integrating people and communities engagement with the advantages of information and communication technologies (ICTs), within a comprehensive smart city governance framework.
