The use and theoretical support of emerging technologies for citizen participation in cities. A Systematic Literature Review in DGRL

This paper examines the use and theoretical support underlying the implementation of emerging technologies for citizen participation in cities. Based on a systematic literature review in the main database of digital government (Digital Government Research Library -DGRL-), we analyze the evidence drawn by prior research concerning the situation, theoretical support, and use of these disruptive technologies in citizen participation. We seek to contribute to prior research on arising a critical debate about the initial implementation of these technologies for promoting collaborative models of governance and providing future research directions to advance in this topic.
