Abstract	This chapter begins with an anthropological description of the common hallmarks and legacies of urbanization, prompting the reader to immediately ponder the depth and impact of Open Data for smart cities. It continues by presenting a general overview of the perspectives and issues of Data and Open Data with specific implications for cities and the public sector. It discusses whether and how Open Data can promote more participative and collaborative forms of governance. The extension of Open Data by Linked Data and Linked Open/Government Data is described. The value chain of Open Data in cities with its set of activities is discussed. Whether Open Data needs to be free, the data formats used to make data Open, the kinds of licenses used, and the challenges posed by Open Data projects and initiatives are described. The path taken by a few nations with their Open Data portals is briefly covered to introduce the progress behind the theory. The benefits of sharing data even between departments, and the impact the successful implementation of services has on another department, is then explored and illustrated by way of relevant scenarios. The chapter concludes by presenting the possibilities for cities to create data market places from which they may derive additional revenue and commercial value. © 2021 Elsevier Inc.
