Role of Public Government Units Within the Framework of the Smart City Concept
Abstract The tenets of the concept of building smart cities are focused on the technological and social development, which is ultimately expected to enhance the city dwellers’ quality of life. Local government units play a key role in this context. The way local government units manage the cities bears on what they look like and determines the dwellers’ quality of life. Hence, it is of paramount importance for the municipalities (gmina) and districts (powiat) to take into account and implement the sustainable development concept, which builds i.a. on an open stakeholder dialogue. Actions of this kind contribute to building the social capital in the long run. The paper is aimed at elaborating on the notions related to the smart city idea, as well as the notion of the quality of life in the light of the roles assigned to local government units. The issues in question will be discussed on the basis of results of surveys conducted among the municipalities in Poland.
