Voorwinden, Astrid (author), van Bueren, Ellen (author), Verhoef, Leendert (author)Urban Living Labs (ULLs) have been implemented in many cities, but their organizational and legal structure has not often been analyzed. ULLs aim to provide a space for different parties to research, develop, and test solutions to urban problems whilst engaging with local communities. Their experimental approach to urban innovation and to...journal article 2023

Alfrink, Kars (author), Keller, A.I. (author), Doorn, N. (author), Kortuem, G.W. (author)Local governments increasingly use artificial intelligence (AI) for automated decision-making. Contestability, making systems responsive to dispute, is a way to ensure they respect human rights to autonomy and dignity. We investigate the design of public urban AI systems for contestability through the example of camera cars: human-driven...conference paper 2023

Verhoeven, Imrat (author), Spruit, Shannon (author), van de Grift, E.M.H.R. (author), Cuppen, Eefje (author)Local governments are at the heart of implementing increasingly ambitious national plans for wind energy. While support by local governments for these plans has been studied extensively, only few studies have looked into local governments’ contestation of wind energy development. In this paper we analyze contentious governance processes in which...journal article 2022

Varga, Filip (author), Hrustek, Larisa (author), Welle Donker, F.M. (author), Šalamon, Dragica (author)Dogs and dog owners are increasingly present in modern urban spaces, and the construction and maintenance of urban infrastructure that includes places for them has become standard in most major cities. We wanted to investigate the extent to which the City of Zagreb is adhering to open data principles when it comes to dog-related data it makes...journal article 2022

Kwon, M. (author), Mlecnik, E. (author), Gruis, V.H. (author)Local authorities (LAs) play an essential role in diffusing home energy renovation measures. However, there are rare business models developed for local authority actions. This paper aims to develop a critical review of the way that local authorities developed business models for pop-up centres where consultants can encourage home energy...book chapter 2022

Elwageeh, Aya (author), Kleinhans, R.J. (author), van Ham, M. (author)Governments are focusing on building new cities to control rapid urbanization and accommodate overpopulation in Africa. Meanwhile, existing agglomerations suffer from urban deterioration, much to the dissatisfaction of their residents. Cairo is an exemplary case of active residents’ response toward urban deterioration in their neighborhoods,...journal article 2022

Kim, A. (author), van der Bijl-Brouwer, M. (author), Mulder, I. (author), Lloyd, P.A. (author)In recent years, governments have increasingly pursued innovation by embed-ding design into their organizations. One particularly common approach to em-bedding design in government organization is to establish public sector innova-tion labs. These labs are described as contributors and facilitators of innovation in policymaking processes;...conference paper 2022

Niaounakis, T.K. (author)Driven by a quest for efficiency, many Western countries have witnessed merger waves across the entire breadth of their public sectors. The underlying assumption is that economies of scale exist in public service delivery; the idea that the average cost of public services decreases as the size of public organizations increases. The analysis of...doctoral thesis 2021

Blank, J.L.T. (author)Building operations and construction are responsible for a large part of global energy use and carbon dioxide emissions. In this paper, we present an analysis of the efficiency and productivity of the provision of school buildings by Dutch municipalities. A cost function is estimated for the years 2005–2016 using stochastic frontier methods...journal article 2021

Yan, J. (author), Haffner, M.E.A. (author), Elsinga, M.G. (author)Inclusionary housing (IH) is a regulatory instrument adopted by local governments in many countries to produce affordable housing by capturing resources created through the marketplace. In order to assess whether it is efficient, scholarly attention has been widely focused on its evaluation. However, there is a lack of studies evaluating IH from...review 2021

Blank, J.L.T. (author), Niaounakis, T.K. (author)Local governments may seek efficient public service delivery through scaling up production, and the quest for the optimal local government size has attracted extensive attention of scholars and policy makers. Indeed, if scale matters for local government efficiency, increasing size may be a key factor in achieving more value for money for...journal article 2021

Engelbert, Jiska (author), Ersoy, A. (author), van Bueren, Ellen (author), van Zoonen, Liesbet (author)There is a sharp contrast between the public value discourse that typifies smart city-making on the one hand and its democratic deficit on the other. In this article we explore this contrast in more detail and assess that the paradigm and practices of networked government, which dominates smart city making, positions citizens as “audiences” of...journal article 2021

Blank, J.L.T. (author), Niaounakis, T.K. (author)In many countries, the provision of primary education is among the core responsibilities of local governments. One of the main questions local governments face concerns the optimal configuration of school boards and size of schools. In this paper we analyse the relation between cost and scale in school boards and in schools. The influence of...journal article 2019

Falco, E. (author), Kleinhans, R.J. (author)Previous research has highlighted that there is a lack of advanced technological solutions able to foster government-citizens collaboration. We argue that many examples of digital participatory platforms are already available and also ready to use for governments and citizens. Hence, causes for ineffective citizen engagement and collaboration...journal article 2018

Lammers, Imke (author), Hoppe, T. (author)Due to the liberalisation of the European Union's (EU) electricity sector, stakeholders' roles and responsibilities in local energy planning and implementation are not well-defined in legislation anymore. To investigate what local energy planning and implementation processes look like in the post-liberalisation era we conduct a systematic...review 2018

Kang, Vitnarae (author), Groetelaers, D.A. (author)Regional governance is coming to play an increasingly pivotal role in the planning of housing development. It has been argued that an absence of formal accountability lines in regional governance is beneficial because it makes inter-municipal coordination more flexible, without the need for territorial adjustments in local authorities. However,...journal article 2017

Niaounakis, T.K. (author), Blank, J.L.T. (author)Inter-municipal cooperation is increasingly popular in European countries. Saving cost is a key motivation. This paper analyses the relation between inter-municipal cooperation and cost efficiency among Dutch municipal tax departments between 2005 and 2012. Motivated by the notion that cost savings are ascribed to scale economies, the...journal article 2017
