The purpose of this paper is to determine how smart city principles and technologies can enable citizen co-creation in public policy-making, consent processing and service provision.
Smart city governments focus heavily on the participation of citizens in the co-creation of civic affairs. The evolutionary aim of the smart city model is to integrate all of the dimensions of human intelligence, collective intelligence, and artificial intelligence using digital telecommunication networks (nerves), ubiquitously embedded intelligence (brains), sensors and tags (sensory organs) and software (knowledge and cognitive competence).
