ABSTRACT

Research on smart cities lacks a systematic understanding of the different components of smart city governance, the metrics to measure these components, their envisaged outcomes and potential contextual factors influencing both components as well as outcomes. This study analyzes the relevant body of literature and proposes conceptual insights. A research scheme is generated and used for an extensive discussion of the literature. The systematic literature review indicates that various smart city governance definitions exist. Also, this study reveals substantial variances in contextual factors, measurement techniques and outcomes among the concepts of smart city governance.

7. Concluding remarks

Research on SCG appears to be even more ambiguous and disintegrated than that carried out on SC, more broadly. Therefore, this paper contributes to the SCG discourse by illuminating the thematic topic of SCG from the joint perspective of four inductively developed and distinct categories (components, measurement methods, contextual factors and envisaged outcomes) and, consequently, constitutes an important input for the designation and definition of SCG, with a wide intended application. Thereby, this paper presents an extended superordinate ontological structure (building on past efforts of Bolivar and Meijer (2016)) allowing for different SCG archetypes. While this study is not the first literature review with regards to SCG (e.g., Meijer and Bolivar (2016), Castelnovo et al. (2016)), it offers additional insights, especially given the recent surge in publications on SC (Dameri & Benevolo, 2016) and SCG, particularly in the last two years. However, the results of this study appear to underline the wide-ranging differences in perspectives on SCG. In spite of or rather because of that, this analysis highlights promising areas of potential research as well as offers methodological approaches to close some of the identified knowledge gaps.

The author recognizes the limitations of this review. Firstly, the three selected databases might not have been comprehensive for this kind of research, particularly given the interdisciplinary nature of the SC topic. Secondly, the applied search words might not have been allencompassing for such a literature review. Lastly, the backward and forward tracing process used to find additional articles could open the way to speculation about researcher bias.
