Abstract. The aim of the article was to identify the benefits and risks resulting from combining top-down and bottom-up initiatives in the context of the technological development of smart cities. In order to achieve the goal, an interview has been conducted with the Deputy Secretary General of GO Smart. It has been shown that the cooperation of top-down and bottom-up initiatives has a positive impact on the city's technological development. The most important benefits of this type of cooperation include increasing innovation and the level of creativity of technological solutions introduced in a smart city, opening the city to new opportunities, as well as increasing the activity of the private sector and the involvement of residents in the city's development. The main risks are related to determining the scope of responsibility for individual initiators when implementing a project as well as the duration of processing applications.
