Abstract	The Quadruple Helix has received growing attention in smart cities research and policy-making as a means for government, industry, academia and civil society to collaborate in making decisions about urban innovations. However, the effect of involving the so-called fourth helix – members of civil society – in such decision-making remains under-researched. This paper is focused on if and how adoption of a Quadruple Helix approach has impacted on civic engagement in Smart City initiatives. Is there evidence in the public domain that decision-making in these initiatives has been affected? A systematic review of the literature on Smart City initiatives was conducted to discover whether those reported as featuring the Quadruple Helix disclosed whether engaging with members of civil society had impacted on their outcomes. The results of the review suggest that, despite Quadruple Helix’s heavy promotion, neither the practical significance of involving the fourth helix in decision-making, nor the ‘benefits’ of doing so, are currently unpacked in the literature. Effective investigation of Smart City initiatives is required to make clear how Quadruple Helix affects decision-making in them, with adequate attention paid to reporting both their implementation and evaluation of what they have achieved in practice. © 2024 Universidade do Porto - Faculdade de Engenharia.
