| Abstract | The aim of the study is to analyze the policy and the ideology of a smart city as a late capitalism era governance strategy. The study showcases, based on the methods of the French school of regulation, that the political and economic significance of the smart city projects—furthered by the leading capitalist states—is determined by their role in the global system of the post-Fordist regime of accumulation. A critical problematization of the technocratic discourse on smart cities has been proposed to identify their ideological nature and their function in the system of social governance. The authors note that the demand for smart cities is being created by transnational corporations and government bodies acting in their interests. Smart cities emphasize the existing class divisions of society and carry the risk of installing the new ones. In the post-pandemic world in particular, there is a risk that the smart city model might fuel non-democratic tendencies through increased government surveillance, exclusion of underprivileged groups, and technologically or commercially legitimized corporate control over social processes. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2022. |
