Government use of the internet – e-government – varies considerably in its degrees of sophistication. This article explores the spatiality of e-government in Europe. It first situates the topic within wider theorizations of geographies of cyberspace. Second, it reviews e-government and its implications. Third, it turns to the digital divide in Europe. Fourth, it maps national e-government readiness and e-participation scores and correlates them with socio-economic measures. Fifth, it provides several overviews of successful West European e-government programs. It concludes by emphasizing that e-government must be approached geographically in a manner tailored to different national contexts.

This article describes how slum upgrading comprehensive plans and urban regularization plans are two planning tools which have been used by Brazilian municipalities to promote integrated interventions in slums and illegal settlements. Aimed at urban-environmental improvements, as well as land regularization and socio-economic community development, these plans have been, however, criticized for being too technical, time-consuming, expensive and top-down oriented, lacking sufficient participation and a strategic approach to achieve community consensus on priorities, under severe budget restrictions to face complex problems and fast changing realities. This article discusses the results of a workshop held in Belo Horizonte, Brazil aimed at developing a methodology for the Maria Tereza neighborhood plan, using Geodesign framework and geovisualization strategies to create a collaborative environment and enhance stakeholders' participation. The decision model achieved proved to be a promising support tool for more effective and inclusive neighborhood rehabilitation and land regularization planning policies.

This article describes how the public participation is understood as involvement of individuals, groups and local communities in public decision making. On 9 October 2015, the Urban Regeneration Act was passed in Poland. The purpose of the Act is to integrate the local activities of the stakeholders in regeneration. Engaging stakeholders is essential for proper implementation of regeneration programmes and is aimed at preventing degradation of urban space and crisis phenomena by enhancing social activity. The main aim of the article is to focus on different forms of public participation in urban regeneration. The study includes an analysis of the public participation procedures employed during the implementation of Communal Regeneration Programmes in Poland, as exemplified by the Olkusz Commune. The analysis is summarised to form a model of public participation in regeneration programmes, including suggestions for the use of ICT tools for consultation purposes.

This article reflects on the challenges for urban planning posed by the emergence of smart cities in network societies. In particular, it reflects on reductionist tendencies in existing smart city planning. Here the concern is with the implications of prior reductions of complexity which have been undertaken by placing primacy in planning on information technology, economical profit, and top-down political government. Rather than pointing urban planning towards a different ordering of these reductions, this article argues in favor of approaches to smart city planning via complexity theory. Specifically, this article argues in favor of approaching smart city plans holistically as topologies of organized complexity. Here, smart city planning is seen as a theory and practice engaging with a complex adaptive urban system which continuously operates on its potential. The actualizations in the face of contingency of such potential are what might have the city evolve over time, its organization, its wholeness, and its continued existence being at stake from moment to moment.

As much as the content, the strategy for transforming large urban agglomerations into smart cities are not yet clearly defined or even approved among researchers and all the agents involved. Only the general understanding of “smartness” is agreed as a desirable label or beneficial goal for most urban stakeholders. That is why it is essential to study concrete results and exemplary cases that allow the diagnosis of applications and strategies to be truly implemented. In this sense, the actions carried out in the Gran Vía de Madrid, converted into the vanguard of transformation of the capital into a “smart city,” are evaluated in this article as an example of smart urban redevelopment. Urban screens, in their diverse sizes and formats, and surveillance cameras are essential components of this process.
就其内容而言，大型城市群向智慧城市转型的战略尚未得到研究人员和所有相关主体的明确定义，甚至尚未得到认可。对于大多数城市利益相关者来说，只有对“智能”的一般理解被认为是一个理想的标签或有益的目标。这就是为什么必须研究具体结果和示范案例，以便对应用和战略进行诊断，以便真正实施。在这个意义上，Gran Vía de Madrid所采取的行动，转变为首都向“智慧城市”转型的先锋，在本文中作为智慧城市重建的一个例子进行评估。不同尺寸和格式的城市屏幕以及监控摄像头是这一过程的重要组成部分。

The UK has, in common with many developed countries, a growing elderly population, and within this demographic, digital exclusion is now seen as social care issue. This has become a policy challenge for local government that has an equivocal track record, from e-government to smart cities, of implementing digital policy agendas. This failure has been attributed to a policy implementation approach rooted in a model of governance that is no longer fit for purpose. This has been acknowledged by some local policymakers who are now experimenting with new, more cost-effective ways of addressing this challenge. This article examines how one local authority developed a project to co-create digital applications for elderly people. It presents a case study of a new, more collaborative, and innovative approach with urban actors who have not traditionally been involved in delivering this policy agenda.
