The emerging opportunities presented by geo-participation to improve government-citizen collaboration and government operations were demonstrated through a set of cutting-edge examples. These case studies were examined and critically assessed to shed light on local governments’ practices of soliciting citizen input and developing new ways of government-citizen interaction.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eBoth researchers and local government practitioners may find this book helpful as it lays the foundation for researching and implementing geo-participation practices.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2026-05-05\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789819582273\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-981-95-8228-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 137\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46190106738828,"sku":"9789819582273","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789819582273_0dd81f97-7140-4156-9671-22558f22503b.jpg?v=1779973138","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789819582273","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
