| description | This paper explores the substantial effect that the critical understanding and techno-political consideration of data are having in some smart city strategies. Particularly, the paper presents some results of a comparative study of four cases of smart city transitions: Glasgow, Bristol, Barcelona, and Bilbao. Likewise, considering how relevant the city-regional 13 path-dependency is in each territorial context, the paper will elucidate the notion of smart 14 devolution as a key governance component that is enabling some cities to formulate their own 15 smart city-regional governance policies and implement them by considering the role of the smart 16 citizens as decision makers rather than mere data providers. The paper concludes by identifying 17 an implicit smart city-regional governance strategy for each case based on the techno-politics of 18 data and smart devolution. |
