Abstract Citizens in Europe and North America gather on digital platforms to shape their urban environment from the bottomup. Digital platforms offer participatory mechanisms to involve citizens in different situations and higher or lower levels of control. Platforms with high levels of control allow citizens to implement their own projects. This offers self-governance and gives control to the citizens. Although a look into practice shows an increasing number of platforms, there is a research gap regarding such platforms and research addresses the need for evaluation of self-governance models in the context of smart cities. In the ongoing empirical study of 30 platforms, we extract success factors for the development and adaptation of these platforms for practitioners. © BLED 2020.All right reserved.
