Abstract
Urban challenges have continuously grown with the steadily increasing number of urban dwellers. The development has given rise to a proposed solution, originally propagated by some of the largest tech companies in the world, of implementing information communication technology (ICT) as a way of tackling urban problems. This proposition bears severe consequences for a democratic society calling cities their home, as the unprecedented growth of ICT has outrun societies' capabilities of adapting democratically. Citizen trust has been eroding over the last decades, posing difficulties in engaging citizens in democratic participation, thus tearing on a pillar on which democratic society rests. This research study utilized a qualitative approach in both consulting citizens and smart city experts in order to understand the implications of trust and participation for democratic smart city designs.
