Abstract	The shaping of smart cities is being widely debated from either technological viewpoints-normally associated with the research and development of systems and devices-and from socioeconomic and political perspectives. This chapter looks instead at the design of smart places as whole combinations-and recombinations-of physical, digital, and social aspects. It makes an attempt to evolve the discussion on smart design from a simple add-on logic of digital over physical to what it means in terms of challenges and opportunities for the design process and the thinking behind it. This stems from a reengagement with and rediscussion of two fundamental spatial design notions: context and affordance. As “smart” recombines these in potentially new ways, architects and urban designers need to be aware and able to embed these new possibilities as part of an extended toolbox. © 2021 Elsevier Inc.
