Book cover Smart and Digital Cities

Part of the book series: Urban Computing ((UC))

Abstract

Cities are undergoing transformations in several respects, but, mainly, regarding novel technologies. In this sense, the aim of this study is to understand the relation between the cities and the use of emerging technologies such as digital democracy, blockchain and, in particular, smart contracts. To discuss and analyze the possibilities of this evolution and transformation, a bibliometric search is carried out in this chapter. A search of keywords in some refereed world databases was made: Springer, SCOPUS, IEEExplore, Science Direct, Google Trends, Web of Science, and Taylor & Francis. This combination of databases was selected in order to become possible to reach a high coverage of numbers of works about digital city and related technologies.
