Abstract	What are the relationships that exist between Information and Communication technologies (ICT)-enabled citizen-government collaboration and sustainable urban development? And, how do contextual circumstances influence these relationships? This chapter is focused on answering the preceding questions in four phases. The first phase of the chapter covers how smart governance, in the sense of ICT-enabled government-citizen collaboration to advance urban sustainability, is still rare; despite the fact of increasing a variety of collaboration-based digital instruments and the dominance of a one way information supply in citizen-government interactions. In other words, although governments promote online and offline citizen engagement and civic empowerment, in practice, they do not encourage deliberation or any broad based public-civil interactions. Therefore, ICT-supported government-citizen cooperation for collectively shaping public matters seldom occurs. Second, this chapter explains why the evidence that smart governance contributes to sustainability is sparse and mixed. The second phase also explains why smart governance activities lead to more livable cities–cities with less social deprivation, more ecological diversity, and enhanced economic prosperity. The third phase of the chapter covers why there is more evidence for the process effects of smart governance. In other words, this phase focuses on the solitary–particularly the social aspects, instead of assessing the sustainability in its integrated economic, social, and environmental outcomes. Finally, the fourth phase of the chapter concludes as to why context matters: We identified specific contextual factors such as the policy domain, political-institutional (e.g., democracy, innovation, administration styles), societal (e.g., Internet reach and use in the society, trust), and socio-spatial (e.g., topography of the city, local-specific social cohesion) dimensions. These contextual factors influence the distinct components of smart governance (the role of governments and citizens as well as ICT use); and, define how local governments and citizens collaborate through new electronic resources--which in turn, determine the potential of advancing urban sustainability. © 2022 Elsevier Inc.
