Public Participation Consortium Blockchain for Smart City Governance

Smart cities have become a trend with improved efficiency, resilience, and sustainability, providing citizens high quality of life. With the increasing demand for more participatory bottom–up governance approach, play an active role in process policy making, revolutionizing management smart cities. In example urban infrastructure maintenance, public participation is remarkable as condition closely related to their daily Although blockchain has been widely explored benefit data collection processing city governance, engagement remains challenge. this article, we propose novel consortium system maintenance that expected encourage actively participate decision-making enable them witness all administrative procedures real-time manner. To aim, introduced hybrid architecture involve verifier group, which randomly dynamically selected from citizens, verify transaction. particular, devised private-prior peer-prediction-based truthful verification mechanism tackle collusion attacks verifiers. Then, specified Stackelberg-game-based incentive encouraging participation. Finally, conducted extensive simulations reveal properties performances our proposed system, indicates its superiority over other variations.
