The established OGD portals goals are to achieve transparency, government accountability, support innovation and development. This data-rich portals have potential roles for creating data-driven urban management. However, very least research observed implication of OGD practices in Indonesia for urban management. Therefore, this study aims to answer the question on how OGD portal could support urban management in Indonesia smart cities. The study identifies the implication of three open government data portals operated by smart cities in Indonesia by extracting and analysing the available data for urban management. The identification will be conducted with descriptive qualitative method based on open data principles and data-driven urban management dimensions. The study finding will explore the OGD practice level for urban management in Indonesia and recommend the improvement if needed.
