| Abstract | Why is it only cities that are labelled smart? A vocabulary of urban bias Since 2010, the term "smart city" has become a buzzword, used in a vague way to denote the increasing integration of information technology into city management processes and to describe the social and community processes they enable. The adjective "smart" is, however, only applied to cities: by implication non-cities (i.e., rural and peripheral regions) are not smart. In this paper we describe how the term "smart city" is used, and show that processes similar to those that make cities smart also occur outside cities. Reserving the term "smart" for cities therefore reflects a bias, similar to the bias that associates creativity and innovation with cities. As geographers we have become aware of our colonial and sexist biases: in this paper we argue that our urban bias is alive and well, and call attention to it. |
