Track Description
Governments around the world are undergoing radical transformations with the emergence of new digital technologies and techniques, such as Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of Things, big data and analytics. As part of these efforts, cities, too, are embracing the new technologies to tackle pressing urban problems and to effectively utilize their resources. Such digitalization of the public sector drives us to rethink the way government services are provided, citizens are engaged, and public agencies create value.

Indeed, the novel phenomena surrounding digital government generally and within the unique context of cities is challenging existing knowledge on the design, implementation, and management of information systems, public policy and organizations. Along with the rapid changes in technology, it thus becomes increasingly important for IS researchers to better understand the implications of digitalization on the complex relationships between public agencies, citizens, and businesses and its outcomes.

The Digital Government and Smart Cities track is intended for high‐quality papers on the varied dimensions of digital transformation in the public sector. We invite papers that can provide theoretical and methodological contributions by balancing research rigour with relevance.
