The role of networking in the development of new city services. A framework for exploring smart public-private service innovation networks

This paper aims at understanding the role of networking for the
development of smart city services by leveraging the interpretive potential of
Public-Private Innovation Networks in Services (ServPPINs). We address the
role, structure and nature of 'smartServPPINs', and the drivers influencing their
performance in realizing technological and non-technological innovations for
cities' smart development. An explorative analysis of two European case studies
of 'smartServPPINs' is conducted.
