Funded Activity Summary

Emergent geographies of smart urbanism. This project aims to analyse how to make Australian cities smart. Across the world, urban innovation coheres around the idea of the ‘smart city’. Through case studies across government-led and community-led initiatives, this project will reveal the structure, dynamics and consequences of smart city strategies. The project’s evidence base, critical insights on the limits and potentials of ‘smart’ for urban management, and stakeholder engagement are expected to inform policy and governance interventions. Its theoretical contribution should build understandings of how ‘smart’ will change Australian cities, their geographies and their governance.
