Keywords:
smart city, technology, governance, performance, infrastructureAbstract
The concept of the smart city represents an integrated approach that combines technology, governance, and citizen participation to enhance urban sustainability and quality of life. Governance plays a crucial role in the success of smart cities by ensuring transparency, accountability, and inclusive decision-making through institutional, regulatory, and participatory mechanisms. Empirical studies highlight governance as a key driver of innovation, sustainability, and competitiveness in major cities. However, despite the global rise of smart city initiatives, performance disparities persist. This underscores the importance of assessing governance quality through composite indicators to better understand its impact on the overall success of smart cities.
