ABSTRACT

The development of smart cities has brought about the wide application of digital technology and had a far-reaching impact on public management. This paper aims at analyzing the application of digital technology in smart cities, discussing the influence of digital technology on public management, and analyzing its potential opportunities and challenges. First of all, the application of digital technology provides comprehensive and timely data collection and processing capabilities, and provides new ideas and means for the decision-making and implementation of public management. Secondly, the application of digital technology strengthens the ability of information sharing and collaborative work in public management, and improves the scientificity and transparency of government decision-making. However, the application of digital technology also faces some challenges and hidden worries. Data privacy and security issues are one of them. If it is not properly protected, it may lead to data leakage and abuse, thus damaging public rights and social stability. Therefore, in order to give full play to the role of digital technology in public management, the government should strengthen the formulation of relevant policies and regulations, the public should enhance their awareness of digital technology, and the government, enterprises and all sectors of society should work together to achieve the sustainable development goal of digital technology in public management.
