The KNOWledge politics of experimentING with smart urbanism

该研究项目的目的是从理论和实证上了解智能城市主义实验如何重塑欧洲城市的城市知识政治。该项目建议对正式的、公司主导的举措和非正式的、基层主导的举措以及混合组合进行对称分析。我们将这些统称为智能城市化实验。首先，一个跨学科和比较的理论框架，智能城市主义实验的知识政治的发展。该框架从批判性城市地理学、科学技术研究和社会技术转型文献中提出了一些观点。其次，该项目将在英国、荷兰、德国、法国和西班牙的8个欧洲城市应用和测试该框架，以获得对当代（正式和非正式）智能城市主义的深入实证理解。最后，这提供了一个机会，可以为塑造关于智能城市主义的当代辩论做出积极贡献。该项目将支持跨国比较分析，以在各种环境下完善和辩论初步理论框架。

The aim of the proposed research project is to develop theoretical and empirical understanding of how smart urbanism experiments are re-shaping urban knowledge politics in European cities. The project proposes a symmetrical analysis of formal, corporate-led initiatives and informal, grassroots-led initiatives, as well as hybrid combinations. Together we refer to these as smart urbanism experiments. First, an interdisciplinary and comparative theoretical framework is developed on the knowledge politics of smart urbanism experimentation. This framework advances perspectives from critical urban geography, science and technology studies and socio-technical transitions literature. Second, the project will apply and test the framework in 8 European cities in the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, France and Spain to gain deep empirical understanding of contemporary (formal and informal) smart urbanism. Finally, this provides the opportunity to actively contribute to shaping contemporary debates on smart urbanism. The project will support cross-national, comparative analysis for refining and debating the initial theoretical framework in various settings.
