Abstract
The chapter presents an overview of the literature on Smart Cities and Smart Communities, and the evolution of planning practices and implementation under the Smart City and Smart Community theme. The chapter argues that few studies explore and compare the distinctive approaches adopted for implementing Smart City and Smart Community goals in the Global North and Global South. Hence, there can never be a ubiquitous model of a Smart City or a Smart Community. The theme is presented for the transdisciplinary book, which explores Smart Cities and Smart Communities from citizens’ empowerment perspectives and investigates how the models of “smartness” can be achieved through intelligent technologies from various stories and cases of big cities representing the Global North as well as the Global South. This is followed by a description of the organization of the book around five topics: (1) conceptual framework for smart cities and communities; (2) technical concepts and models for smart cities and communities; (3) civic engagement and citizen participation; (4) case studies from the Global North; and (5) case studies from the Global South.
