| Abstract | This commentary emphasizes the topicality and critical importance of a close focus on a smart city such as Dholera. Not only does this address a smart city craze in urban planning and thinking in contemporary India, but it offers a way of exploring the urban visions central to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's model of economic development. It is argued that Ayona Datta's engagement with Dholera importantly 'provincializes' discussion around smart cities in India within wider urban studies debates. But it is suggested that this work might develop greater genealogical connections with histories of colonial urbanism and employ more nuanced empirical research to help disrupt the promotional bombast that currently accompanies smart cities in Modi's India. |
