Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)
Smart cities employ information and communication technologies to manage urban functions such as transportation, environmental quality, water and waste systems, and for community engagement. As a recent phenomenon of three decades, we investigate the evolution of the smart city concept and its common uses in language and media. Using the social media use of #smartcity and #smartcities we analyze 4.7 million tweets sent between 2017 and 2020 to reveal the geography and languages of the concept, along with common associations and influences. Results show how Twitter messaging is driven by technology and industry interests with a focus on vendors and the promotion of smart city technologies. Implications of the results include a need for broader engagement, addressing issues of ownership and control of technology, governance and oversight, privacy issues, and the promotion of social justice. Smart cities have the potential for greater community engagement around urban life, but this role needs to be established if the full benefits are to be realized.
