“智慧城市”已被定位为应对城市服务提供和治理挑战的全球数字范式。最近的辩论提出了本地化形式的智能干预的可能性，然而，我们认为有必要首先分析的演员，通过城市叙事必须通过纠缠。对印度智慧城市使命中的三个小型“智慧”城市的细致研究揭示了跨国、国家和地方利益相关者交叉产生的结构和故事情节，使解开“地方”和“全球”的尝试变得复杂。国家叙事再现了一个“聪明”的主题，作为“现代”、全球、国家建设的一部分，划分了谁属于谁不属于未来的城市。在跨国叙事和当地需求之间，地方化起到了中介作用，但地方化已成为在城市间竞争中创造差异的主要手段。因此，虽然地方行动主义可以作为智慧城市重建的阻力节点，但弱势城市居民仍然处于不稳定的地位。
“Smart Cities” have been positioned as a global digital paradigm addressing challenges in urban service delivery and governance. Recent debates have suggested the possibility of localized forms of smart intervention, however, we argue there is a need to first analyze the entanglement of actors through which urban narratives must pass. A granular examination of three small, “smart” cities within India’s Smart City Mission reveals structures and storylines produced at the intersection of transnational, national and local stakeholders, complicating attempts to unravel the “local” and “global”. State narratives reproduce a “smart” subject as part of “modern”, global, nation-building, demarcating who does and doesn’t belong in cities yet-to-come. Municipalities mediate between transnational narratives and local needs, but localization has become primarily a means to create a distinction within inter-city competition. Therefore, while local activism can function as a node of resistance to Smart City redevelopment, vulnerable city residents remain precariously placed.
