Abstract

The research presented here questions the issue of public data management in the context of three Smart City projects: what governance, what ownership, what users? A qualitative analysis of the representations and discourses on the nature and ideal-types of these projects reveals a contrast between the declarations made by the stakeholders and a more classical approach based on the opposition "Smart City" vs "stupid village". Finally, the authors associate this new management tool, the Smart City, with a new form of rational myth in which data management is at the heart of the concerns.
