Abstract
Urban governance traditionally includes hierarchical and bureaucratic structures in which city governments play a central role. The emergence of smart cities, characterized by the use of information and communication technologies to improve urban services and infrastructure, requires a review of these traditional models. This article has been made with the aim of meta-combining the concept of urban governance from the perspective of a smart city. In this study, a meta-combination method based on Sandlowski and Barroso's guide was used as a pre-defined narrative review. 1425 articles were obtained by searching Scopus and Google Scholar databases. After that, using the PRISMA checklist, the titles, abstracts and full texts were examined, finally 105 articles were analyzed. Focusing on urban governance and smart city, this study has sought to provide a comprehensive understanding of the goals, components and contexts of smart city governance and provide a conceptual framework. Based on this, the framework of urban governance from the perspective of a smart city includes the social and spatial context, three interconnected components of institutions, technology, urban space and four economic, political, ecological and cultural goals. The logic of this framework shows a potential relationship between the social and spatial context and smart urban governance that the impact of the social and spatial context on smart urban governance relies on the interaction between technology, institutions and urban space.
