| Abstract |
The paper provides a systematic overview of the critical literature of the smart city, identifying ten aspects, which require conceptual deconstruction: centralization, technological determinism, universalism, big city focus, business-driven reflexes, bias of the scientific-professional background work, growing inequality, higher level of surveillance and vulnerability, and the danger of weakening citizen activity, thanks to the automatically adapted solutions. As a part of the other side, i.e. hyperconstruction,we rearrange the usual attributes of smart city literature normatively, into a new framework, as "ten requisites of a good city". They are: Resilient/Adaptive/Responsive/Sentient (1) Green/Eco/Sustainable (2) Creative/Innovative (3) Cooperative/Participative (4) Inclusive/Equal/Fair (5), Open/Transparent (6), Multicultural/Mongrel (7), Healthy (8), Safe (9), Connected/Interoperative/Networked (10). |
