Abstract Although in Chile the concept of Smart Cities (sc) has attracted more and more attention from academia, as well as from the public and private sectors, there is a need to understand what the term means and what implications it is having in new ways of governance and urban planning. Based on the policy mobility approach, this research seeks to answer how the ideas of the sc concept circulate in Chile. Using mixed methods (ethnography of events and analysis of the social network Twitter), it is shown that the concept circulates through circuits with a large participation of private companies and led by public economic institutions linked to the fields of innovation and digital transformation. Contrary to what some authors affirm, the concept would not be positioning itself as “a new type of urbanism” or a “new urban policy”, but rather it would represent an urban narrative for the development of technological industries in the city. © EURE.
