Abstract	The purpose of this chapter is to analyse the issue of the participation of central and local authorities (administrations) in the tools that create and develop smart cities in Japan. The participation of administration in decentralised and sustainable local systems depends on the regulatory models on smart city initiatives. Thus, it is necessary to indicate which tools may be suited for such participation and what universal features allow their gradation. The administration functioning in such undertakings undoubtedly exacerbates the theoretical barriers. It can act as a stakeholder operating in a “multirole”: in the sphere of sovereign action and as a co-creator of the social environment, where one stakeholder equals others. The last position is especially interesting from the point of view of the democratisation of energy use in modern cities. Depending on the role in which the administration may operate in a given case, the interaction with other parties involved may vary. Examination of the above dependencies can contribute to the development of recommendations for optimising the rules for the occurrence of public administration in smart city initiatives. © 2025 selection and editorial matter, Maciej M.
