Abstract The history of urban power outlined earlier stands as a useful reference point and exposes the ways in which urban power provision, smart. Otherwise, is always variegated and tied to local economic geographies rather than being rolled out in a uniform manner across territories. People suggest that smart urbanism, with which this volume is concerned, can be understood as a relational process of assemblage. In the remainder of this chapter, they use the case studies of Austin, Texas and the North East of England’s Customer Led Network Revolution to illustrate these points. They now turn to the US case study to consider the implications of new market configurations in urban smart grids. Through the case studies of Austin, Texas, they have developed an analysis which points to cities and urban contexts as frontier spaces for smart grids, which draws attention to the emergent geographical politics of actually existing, public-private assemblages beginning to deploy smart urban power. © 2016 Simon Marvin, Andrés Luque-Ayala and Colin McFarlane.
