Abstract Smart cities are increasingly common the whole world over. In the smart city, technology is often mobilised as a means to bring benefits to and build better lives for disabled people. In this chapter, we zoom in on the case of the smart nation of Singapore (and elsewhere) amidst an international focus on disability rights. Reworking Lefebvre's working of the Right to the City in conversation with disability studies, we ask: What does it mean to consider disability's right to the smart city? What can we do to prepare and ensure that an emergent future, especially in cities that are increasingly becoming smarter, remains equitable and centred on disability, of disability, rather than for disability? © 2025 selection and editorial matter, Katie Ellis, Mike Kent and Kim Cousins.
