The SmartGov Virtual Conference successfully brought together research teams, policy-makers and practitioners in Stirling, Glasgow, Utrecht in the Netherlands, and Sao Paulo and Curitiba in Brazil. Top of the agenda was how to use emerging technologies and administrative data to engage citizens in sustainable governance practices. The conference included presentations about the historical development of Smart Cities in the three countries, as well as a discussion about the emerging literature review and theoretical framework, to be used to guide the empirical research in the project.
