Abstract	This chapter takes up the emergence of the smart city as a sustainable city by looking at one particular case study, the Connected Sustainable Cities (CSC) project developed by MIT and Cisco within the Connected Urban Development (CUD) initiative. Smart-city design proposals on one level establish propositions and programs for how computational urbanisms are to operate; but on another level, programs never go according to plan and are never singularly enacted. Although cities infused by digital technologies and imaginaries are not a new development, the implementation of such measures to achieve sustainability directives under the guise of smart cities is a more recent tactic for promoting digital technologies. Foucault’s discussion of environmentality, however abbreviated, addresses the role of environmental technologies in governance and in many ways relates to his abiding attention to the milieu as a site of biopolitical management. Environmentality as a concept does offer up ways of thinking about governance toward environmentalist objectives. © 2016 Simon Marvin, Andrés Luque-Ayala and Colin McFarlane.
