Synopsis

The rise of digital technologies reshapes public administration, giving rise to smart government, a governance model that leverages data, connectivity, and innovation to enhance the efficiency, responsiveness, and accountability of public services. Central to this are innovation, transparency, and citizen participation. Innovation drives the adoption of tools such as artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and Internet of Things (IoT) to streamline operations and deliver smarter services. Transparency ensures government processes and decisions are open, data-driven, and accessible. Participation empowers citizens to help create policies and engage in decision-making through digital platforms, ensuring governance is inclusive and aligned with public needs. Together, these elements may form a smart government that is technologically advanced while democratic, ethical, and citizen-centric. Innovation, Transparency, and Participation in Smart Government addresses the intersection between digital transformation in the public sector and the implementation of emerging technologies that optimize urban management and improve quality of life. It examines innovations that redefine governance, highlighting challenges and opportunities in the implementation of these systems. This book covers topics such as digital technology, smart grids, and data science, and is a useful resource for policymakers, government officials, engineers, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
