Smart cities are the latest craze with city governments and industry, yet their guiding vision is often limited to big data analytics and urban science. Willis and Aurigi's book provides a more holistic picture: a thorough yet accessible coverage of the theoretical, historical and practical contributions made by architecture, human geography, media studies, urban sociology, and other critical fields too often ignored by technocrats. This is required reading for everyone committed to a citizen-centred understanding of digital and smart cities. - Marcus Foth, Professor of Urban Informatics, QUT Design Lab, Australia Finally! A volume that demystifies the smart city phenomenon through systematic and careful evaluation of its application in practice. It also provides a rare and solid genealogy of this oft misinterpreted term. - Nancy Odendaal, Associate Professor at School of Architecture, Planning and Geomatics, University of Cape Town, South Africa Bravo!
