Brazilian Practices of Citizen Participation in Smart Cities: a systematic literature review

The study aimed to verify national practices of citizen participation in smart cities in national and international publications published in journals. The research developed a systematic review of the literature, based on Scopus® and Web of Science (WoS) ® publications, selecting articles and conference papers published from 2013 to 2023. The study concludes that there are few studies that focus in a particular way on the theme of citizen participation within the smart city. Curitiba stands out as the city with the most identified practices. And the studies are developed in partnership with international institutions, such as Utrecht University and Danube University Krems, for example. Brazilian practices of citizen participation deal with: the use of technology to monitor the population; citizen participation labs; online citizen service, reducing time and costs; the role of the third sector in the representativeness of the population; participation in public health through technology.
