Social Innovation Emergence in a Congolese Urban Territory With a Peasant Lifestyleto a Smart City

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The study deals with the local governance of an African city with a peasant lifestyle, likely to transition towards a smart, truly urban city. To resolve the problem of managing the still latent emergence of social innovation in southern countries, the study hypothesizes that these urban agglomerations will only be able to see their development come through social innovations, in the extent that the knowledge of the populations concerned is at the service of public power through participatory democracy. The study proposes the revision of the place reserved for the resident in the management of the city and a model of participatory democracy in a co-creation approach.
