Abstract The paper focuses on the topical problem of urban studies—the problem of the theoretical organization of knowledge in the context of the formation of such a promising area of urban studies as the epistemology of the city. The authors propose an interpretation of the essence of this intellectual movement within the framework of urban epistemology and urbanism, which is attributively and essentially determined within the framework of a priori construction or “smart city” methodology. This research matrix is relevant and correlative to the general aspirations within the sociological community to create a “smart theory” of the social as a working hypothesis in the analysis of the prospects for future social development. The paper consistently defends the thesis of the socio-ontological status of the city as the epicenter and focus of all significant innovative and cultural changes and its epistemological status as a reflexive object capable of generating its own self-presentations and self-descriptions. The “spatial methodology” used in the research corresponds to the basic intentions and principles implemented in the intellectual movement of the “turn to the material” as an influential direction in the development of the post-metaphysical tradition of social research. According to the authors, the need to fix the connection between social dynamics and the transformation of ideas about the essence and nature of the spatial organization of society has the necessary heuristic potential in terms of developing promising and effective recommendations on the main directions of development of urban communities. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023.
