Abstract This chapter seeks to explore a number of questions relating to smart city thinking and water. It points out that cities in ecological and in many more specific ways are 'stupid spaces', rife with a whole range of systemic shortcomings. The obvious attraction of smart technologies is the hope of addressing at least some of those shortcomings. But for cities to be wise, rather than smart, and deeper, an ecological view of sustainability is required. This will require pushing ideas of smartness, or wisdom, to embrace the non-human, ecological and the underpinning elemental flows of water which sustain all life. © Oxford University Press 2024.
