Abstract	The author argues that India’s smart urbanism is a hybrid, a home-grown story of a global smart urbanism which manifests in the smart entrepreneurial city. Using the case of the alleged first smart city in India, Dholera. Kelvin Campbell will suggest that it is a powerful tool for the production of docile subjects and mechanisms of political legitimisation. He begins therefore by provincialising the smart city in India in order to highlight a particularly popular trend of entrepreneurial urbanization, which constructs Dholera and other proposed smart cities as sites of economic growth. He then discusses the politics in transforming actually existing Dholera a constructed terrain of terra nullis into the image of a smart entrepreneurial city. Following the speed of law- and policy-making that can materialise Dholera and its corresponding roadblocks of local resistance action. He concludes that land is the final frontier of smart urbanism in India. © 2016 Simon Marvin, Andrés Luque-Ayala and Colin McFarlane.
