Promoted as a solution to a wide range of urban challenges, including managing infrastructures, reducing carbon emissions, and enhancing social interaction, Smart Urbanism is presented as a panacea for many contemporary urban issues. This book critically examines the promises of SU, questioning the capabilities it offers, who benefits from these technologies, and what exclusions are created in the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"876\" data-end=\"1349\"\u003eIt explores the social and material consequences of smart urban technologies, comparing their development in cities across both the Global North and South. The book addresses whether current visions of SU can meet their potential and offers alternative trajectories for reshaping cities. Drawing on a collection of theoretically informed case studies, this work advances the understanding of the histories, geographies, governance, and social implications of smart cities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1351\" data-end=\"1925\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1351\" data-end=\"1361\"\u003eReview\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr data-start=\"1362\" data-end=\"1365\"\u003e\"Smart Urbanism is destined to become a key reference in debates about smart cities.
