The constant social, financial, and political challenges in municipalities have required from their managers a more competent action in order to offer an adequate life standard to their citizens. With the participation of the community, municipal planning and systematized information can help the management of city governments and municipalities. This article describes the phases, sub-phases and products of a method for information, knowledge and IT planning in city governments and municipalities. The method proposes nine phases, considers the precepts of entrepreneurship, and presupposes the need for integration with municipal planning. The research methodology consists of an applied approach in a circumstantial reality, with emphasis on the inductive method helped by the author’s experience. The contributions are directed to city governments, municipalities and their population, in which information can help foster city competitiveness and improve city management as well as the life standards of the population. The conclusion reiterates the importance of citizen participation in city government as well as in the daily management of their cities.
