5.3.5. Lack of Coordination

Smart city projects often involve multiple stakeholders, such as government agencies, businesses, and citizens. It can be difficult to coordinate these stakeholders and ensure that they are working together towards a common goal [246].

Smart city projects need to be accepted by the public in order to be successful. If people do not trust or understand technology, they may be reluctant to participate [243].

Despite these challenges, there are a number of cities that are making progress in implementing smart city solutions. These cities are finding ways to overcome the challenges and gain the benefits of smart city technologies.
