My opinion is, it’s policies and processes that shape a citizen’s approval/appreciation of a city’s services, not the technology.
That said, lack of appropriate technology is a serious hinder, while abundant, scalable, easy to use and maintain technology is a serious enabler. And the Google platform rocks, so as long as you have or get appropriate architectural guidance and design, it will definitely be a big win for the city.
