Abstract

This chapter examines the smart-government project in Dubai in an attempt to underscore the main opportunities and challenges facing this project on the ground. The study builds on an extensive research and empirical material developed by the author while he was working with the Dubai government on the issue of smart-government governance. The analysis of the Dubai smart-government indicates that the Government of Dubai was keen from day one on putting in place the required incentive schemes and major milestones for the successful implementation of the project. Nonetheless, the full transformation towards the smart cities requires—in addition to providing all the new technology and infrastructure needed—a new way of thinking about the role of government in relation to other societal players.
