The collaboration dilemma in smart city projects: Time to ask the right questions
用组装思维、组织和公共价值创造理论,批判现有智慧城市协作模型无法应对现实复杂性,并提出更稳健的理论视角,聚焦程序、关系和多样性因素,为研究者提供新问题。
This Connexions article links collaboration in smart city projects, a contemporary and undertheorised social challenge, with theories on assemblage thinking, organisation, and public value creation. Using this multidisciplinary lens, we critically analyse smart city theory and expose the inability of prevailing collaborative models to properly account for the complexities of real-world practices. Building on our observations, we formulate a new and more robust theoretical perspective on smart city collaboration, which helps us trigger new research questions that focus on procedural, relational and diversity factors previously ignored.
