| Abstract |
Many cities around the world have been looking for implementation of strategies and projects focused on smart cities development to move on. However, it does not happen instantly and without conflicts of interest. In fact, the main difficulties of a strategy emerge during the implementation phase, because cities present several limitations of governance, capabilities, financing tools and so on. An alternative to solve these issues refers to the creation of a dedicated organizational structure to lead the collaboration between stakeholders in this process of urban transformation. Despite their relevance, there are few studies addressing how these smart cities dedicated organizations are constituted and structured, what tools and mechanisms they use and what is their role in the development of different urban innovation ecosystems are still scarce, especially with evidence from developing countries. Therefore, this paper aims to (1) analyze the structure, tools, and mechanisms of smart city dedicated organizations around the world and (2) to characterize their role in the governance of smart city development. Multiple case studies were conducted based on the documental analysis of websites, reports and official documents and interviews with directors of six smart city dedicated organizations from European and Brazilian cities. From this study, we expect to contribute with propositions and insights on how to structure a new governance model for smart cities development in different contexts. |
