Summary/Abstract: Smart city administration has become irrevocably connected with the development of new forms of communication and their implementation in communication between the city council and the inhabitants. It is no longer enough to rely on one-way communication; based on the use of local media and dissemination of messages through press. Nowadays; the inhabitants of cities demand more engagement. The formation of the civil society has contributed to the emergence of the awareness of citizen rights among the city populations as well as greater readiness to engage in the processes of co-determination. Thus; social changes have influenced the transformation of city administration processes to allow for the emergence of a participatory model of administration. It is difficult to imagine a well-functioning city in which the inhabitants have no influence on its administration.
