Overview

This book reviews smart cities literature and describes the importance of more values-based rationality and reflective practice in building smart cities, and rethinks how to approach human experiences to make them more balanced and engaging to all senses, rather than just focusing on the sense of sight. This transition creates a sense of place in the city that has proven necessary to improve people's attitudes and overall well-being. As the vision of Smart Cities promotes them as more liveable cities while focusing primarily on providing more efficient services, the book invites further research that, through an abductive approach, engages through a dialogue with a variety of approaches and practices for building smart cities, which can differ in their ontological, epistemological and theoretical approaches. The outcomes that such an approach could yield will be useful to create practical guidelines that improve smart cities' ability to create more engaging experiences that help transform the progression in urban development from merely improving basic functions to improving the human experience.
