Abstract

Smart cities are gaining popularity in local governments as urban regions evolve. The new city paradigm places the citizen at the center of an organic, efficient, interconnected structure. Information and communication technology (ICT) facilitates this change and citizen engagement, and city services
and apps are one conduit. This study aims to identify the key variables of city mobile app uptake and performance. We present a study paradigm that was empirically tested in a European city, using an online poll to elicit public feedback on city apps. The results show that perceived usefulness and simplicity of use are significant to city app uptake. These apps also have some net benefits. This study contributes to a new model of city app adoption and supports implementation and development.
