| Abstract | The confluence of two phenomena, accelerated dissemination of information and communication technologies (ICTs)–digital transformation, associated with the increase of population in large urban centers converge to the emergence of the phenomenon that is conventionally called smart cities. Smart cities are understood as those that employ ICTs to optimize their services, ensuring not only a more efficient and effective governance, but also an improvement in the quality of life of their citizens. And, in this ICT-dominated environment, a digital interconnection of everyday objects with the Internet (“Internet of Things” or IoT) is created. In this sense, from the literature review, this paper seeks to explore to what extent the use of blockchain technology would succeed in being the secure governance infrastructure in the development of smart cities filled by the connected devices. The study explains how blockchain creates an information registration system which allows network participants to exchange data with a high degree of reliability and transparency without the need for a centralized management. And given the characteristics of blockchain, this study aims to analyze how this technology can contribute to improving governance in smart cities, toward efficient urban management, and namely to improvement the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The results achieved with the case studies allowed us to identify the limits and possibilities concerning the use of blockchain for the governance of cities. Thus, it can be concluded that despite the associated limits, such as ethical use problems and sustainability issues, blockchain has the potential to function as the integral infrastructure of digital ecosystems that may be employed in smart cities. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. |
