A well-functioning smart city require a vibrant e-democracy. The theoretical foundation for “E-Democracy for Smart Cities” is presented here. This chapter in detail studies the relationship of smart cities and e-democracy. The basic democratic principles are stated and then the culture of democracy that evolved through many centuries were studied. The present constitutional provision and ancient Greek and Indian models of democracy were discussed and democracy in panchayat system were also studied. Advantages and disadvantages of democracy were discussed. E-democracy was defined, E-democratic models investigated and e-democracy typologies were postulated as well as ten models of e-democracy. Finally, several tools used in e-democracy were enumerated. The chapter concluded with a vision of e-democracy in large urban agglomeration.
