Rendering smart cities concrete and accountable is challenging. Seamlessly integrated technologiesrooted in techno-utopian belief systems (Sadowski and Pasquale, 2015) are implemented into theurban fabric under neoliberal ideals 'modelled on dogmas of efficiency' sustainability, and freedom of choice crucial to market imperatives (Cardullo and Kitchin, 2019, p.824). A predominantly techno-utopian approach to city management and governance, dominant imaginaries presume urbanfunctioning can be optimised or addressed through technological solutions (Hobbs-Morgan, 2017;Morozov, 2013). Everyday structural problems are not, however, confronted. Urban cores centrearound branding tactics and 'citizen focus', 'sustainable' or 'eco' labels amounting to little more thantokens of greenness (De Jong, 2019). At the heart of smart urbanist discourse lies cleverly marketeddevelopment strategies promoting implementation of cutting-edge technologies to fuel economicgrowth whilst simultaneously reducing environmental impacts through lofty rhetoric of 'greengrowth' (Trencher and Karvonen, 2019). However, concerns towards citizen involvement, unevendistribution of benefits, and theincompatible nature between social equity and emerging 'two-speedcities' arise (Martin et al ., 2018). Instead of empowered citizens, we witness key components ofefficient systems and infrastructures. It is henceforth crucial to challenge evolving relationshipsbetween smart, sustainable, and techno-optimist strategies. Klein (2014) has called for asociotechnical perspective warranting more holistic approaches to our urban futures whereby smartversus sustainable urban mobilities no longer exist as unaligned paradigms (Lyons, 2018).

让智慧城市变得具体且负责任是一项挑战。植根于技术乌托邦信仰体系的无缝集成技术（Sadowski 和 Pasquale，2015）在“以效率教条为模型”的新自由主义理想的可持续性和对市场要求至关重要的选择自由下被实施到城市结构中（Cardullo 和 Kitchin，2019，第 824 页）。城市管理和治理主要采用技术乌托邦方法，占主导地位的想象认为城市功能可以通过技术解决方案来优化或解决（Hobbs-Morgan，2017；Morozov，2013）。然而，日常的结构性问题并未面临。城市核心以品牌策略和“以公民为中心”、“可持续”或“生态”标签为中心，这些标签只不过是绿色的象征（De Jong，2019）。智慧城市主义话语的核心在于巧妙的营销发展战略，促进尖端技术的实施，以推动经济增长，同时通过“绿色增长”的崇高言辞减少对环境的影响（Trencher 和 Karvonen，2019）。然而，人们对公民参与、利益分配不均、社会公平与新兴“双速城市”之间的不相容等问题产生了担忧（Martin et al., 2018）。我们目睹的不是被赋予权力的公民，而是高效系统和基础设施的关键组成部分。因此，挑战明智、可持续和技术乐观战略之间不断变化的关系至关重要。 Klein（2014）呼吁从社会技术角度出发，对我们的城市未来采取更全面的方法，从而使智能与可持续城市交通不再作为不一致的范式存在（Lyons，2018）。
