Abstract	The broad notion of ‘Smart Cities’ in Africa is emerging amidst significant socio-political transitions in populations, economy, and technology. Local governments across the continent are being asked to contend with limited resources and an increase in demands for service and accountability. Advances in information communication and digital technology, if contextually appropriate, can be harnessed to support collaboration amongst governance stakeholders. However, for technology to be an asset it must be a facilitator of good governance rather than an end to itself. This chapter presents a conceptual framework for Smart and Open Urban Governance in Africa and explores themes of transparency, public participation, and accountability. © 2019, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
