Abstract	Smart City has become a dominant narrative for the future of cities. Taking this framework as point of departure, the paper introduces Smart City Narratives as both utopian and dystopian storytelling, as contested stories of corporate interests of global ICT companies and entrepreneurial urban policies on the one hand and visions of sustainability and social justice on the other. The motivation is to discuss present changes in narrating urban spaces, with a special focus on the production and perception of urban space brought about by increasing access to and use of digital technologies and digitally connected infrastructures in cities. Apart from scenarios for future urban digitalization strategies, this includes giving attention to urban citizens, democratic citizenship initiatives, and rights to a digital city. © 2020, The Author(s).
