Implication

Systematic review uncovers core frameworks connecting smart contracts and blockchain in decentralized urban governance, highlighting pathways for automated city-level decision-making.

Key Points

To review and synthesize recent literature regarding the role of blockchain technology and smart contracts within decentralized urban governance systems.
Conducted a systematic review guided by PRISMA principles across ProQuest, Scopus, and Web of Science databases from January to May 2022.
Assessed studies published from 2016 to 2022 using AMSTAR, Dedoose, Distiller SR, ROBIS, and SRDR quality appraisal tools, selecting N=371 eligible sources.
Employed a Shiny app to generate PRISMA tracking and utilized VOSviewer layout algorithms for bibliometric network mapping.
Identified core governance dimensions and robust qualitative correlations linking blockchain-based smart contracts to smart urban governance frameworks.
Determined that future implementation requires the integration of spatial cognition algorithms and automated decision-making tools to manage decentralized infrastructure.
