ICT for a Well-Functioning Government in Cities: Towards Integrated Information Platforms for E-Government and E-Transformation

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
ICT, Cities, and Reaching Positive Peace

Part of the book series: Urban Sustainability ((US))

Abstract

This chapter explores the overarching positive peace pillar of ‘well-functioning government’ to evaluate how it sits in the context of cities and communities. Its effectiveness is crucial as we delve into critical directions and provide debates that could suggest reaching positive peace in cities. It is an overarching pillar mainly because it is embedded in multiple aspects and various dimensions, allowing us to enhance public administration, legality, law enforcement, and accountability, all of which are important in achieving a sound economic environment and better governance. The chapter shows how ICTs could help augment governance through innovation and public management. These are discussed in the form of governance models, such as developing e-Government infrastructures and towards e-Transformations.
