Governo e autogoverno della città digitale, luogo di conflitti tra valori pubblici e interessi privati

The smart city has emerged both as a place for digitization stimulated by technological innovation and the spread of private digital platforms, and as a fulcrum of renewed democratic participation and instances of self-governance coming directly from social formations that are not always politically represented. In this context, the city can be observed both as a local authority with the task of affirming the public values and purposes embedded in the material constitution, and as a testing ground for innovative policies aimed at collectively governingthe territory, enhancing instances of self-government also through digital technologies that, for this purpose, need to be regulated and made their own by the community
