Abstract
This chapter presents a local emergent perspective on smart city governance.
Smart city governance is about using new technologies to develop innovative
governance arrangements. Cities all around the world are struggling to find
smart solutions to wicked problems and they hope to learn from successful technogovernance practices in other cities. Learning about successes of smart city governance is important but lessons need to be contextualized: approaches that work in one city may fail in another one. This chapter presents the local cooperative knowledge potential and the nature of the problem domain as key contextual factors and develops a model for studying and assessing smart city governance in context.
