Examining the intersection of technology and democracy, this volume explores the evolving concept of 'smart cities' as platforms for citizen empowerment and innovation. It highlights the diverse interpretations of 'smart cities' across disciplines, from sustainability to information technology. The book delves into how these urban environments can foster bottom-up civic engagement through advanced communication and data sharing, while also considering the implications of surveillance and control inherent in smart technologies, drawing on Foucault's panopticon as a critical lens.
