Smart Urban Development

Smart Urban Development Debates about the future of urban development in many countries have been increasingly influenced by discussions of smart cities. Despite numerous examples of this 'urban labelling' phenomenon, we know surprisingly little about so-called smart cities. This book provides a preliminary critical discussion of some of the more important aspects of smart cities. Its primary focus is on the experience of some designated smart cities, with a view to problematizing a range of elements that supposedly characterize this new urban form. It also questions some of the underlying assumptions and contradictions hidden within the concept.
