Abstract	This chapter addresses scholarly critiques of smart cities including what many have overlooked-their impact on various demographic groups, especially those who are marginalised. In addition, it considers smart city infrastructure in both the global south and the global north, such as SideWalk Labs in Toronto, Canada, digital maps to address women’s safety in Indian cities, an app in the UK encouraging users to rate city locations regarding welcoming and safe places to breastfeed, and a “women-friendly” inclusive and smart city in South Korea. This chapter also discusses the author’s research in Australian cities with a focus on how women often adapt smartphone apps and geo-locative functions to manage their personal safety and risk in urban space. The chapter concludes by recommending that the knowledge gained through lived experiences of smart cities is meaningfully translated by policy makers and urban designers, fostering positive change for all smart city dwellers. © Linda Peake, Anindita Datta and Grace Adeniyi-Ogunyankin 2024.
