Abstract The chapter presents various salient themes emerging from this book. These include: (1) the need to broaden the definition of smart cities and communities since the current definition fails to recognize the expanding horizon of smart city and community strategies, (2) challenges of the digital divide that disproportionately affect the implementation of smart city and community strategies, (3) ineffective methods of citizen participation that often fail to include the poor, marginal, minority and underrepresented communities, (4) insights on recent approaches to effectively increase citizen involvement that can help achieve the true goals of smart cities and communities, and (5) Tool Kits for Government Officials that can improve smart city and community goals with more effective forms of citizen participation. The chapter concludes that the book fills a niche by exploring the distinctive approaches adopted for implementing smart cities and smart communities in the Global South and North from a transdisciplinary perspective. The chapter also posits that the book fills another niche by exploring smart cities and smart communities from citizens’ empowerment perspectives and investigating how the models of “smartness” can be achieved through intelligent technologies from various stories and cases of big cities representing the Global North as well as the Global South. The chapter concludes by suggesting the audience for the book. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
