| Abstract | This article promotes the role and importance of art in the research and making of smart cities. To elucidate the potential of using relational artworks for a more vibrant interaction in the city as well as various visuals in knowledge production and/or implications of overlooking them, a case study of Milton Keynes is presented in the article. Visual comparisons and analysis contributed to making the argument clearer by reflecting on the situation on the ground. Qualitative methods have been used for data collection and analysis, which included interviews, document analysis and on-field observations. The findings were presented under three main sections: Innovation in knowledge production, vocabulary and design, and art in Milton Keynes and Milton Keynes in art. The themes are used to clearly discuss the need for innovative methods in knowledge production and cities making while explaining the benefits of integrating art with science. By reflecting on the benefits of accommodating the need for effective communication, higher engagement and fulfilling experience in research and design of cities, the powers of visual and relational art are unpacked throughout the article. Thus, the role of art is introduced to be beyond that of decoration to help facilitate cities development and production. © 2023 The Authors.
