Abstract(s)
The exponential growth of the urban population made cities
to feel the obligation to guarantee liveable conditions for all citizens who
seek them. The creation of new models of cities and the interconnection
between the services they offer became a pressing need. With the tech-
nological advancements, all this integration lead cities to scale to the
concept of Smart City. This paper focuses on the perspective of the citi-
zen. When asked about how smart the cities where they live, few citizens
know it, and, even more, when asked about how participative they are,
the answer is null or ineffective. Their perspective is being neglected in
public matters, either governmental or environmental. Therefore, it is
essential to carry out a comprehensive study that allows understanding
how the citizen becomes an integral element of the city where he lives,
studies, works, or visits. Inclusive cities use technological platforms that
motivate citizens to stay or visit the city, thus contributing to citizen
inclusion. It is crucial to understand the best digital approach to meet
citizens’ needs in the city to take advantage of what the city has to offer.
