| Abstract | The objective of this chapter is to rethink the smart city as a part of the broader regional context in which it is located. The smart city is not situated in a vacuum. As a provider of services, it serves the local community, i.e., city inhabitants. Smart services, however, are already available to anyone interested in them, regardless of their location. This posits a very interesting question of how, on the one hand, the intrusion of information and communication technology (ICT) in the fabric of the city, and, on the other hand, the processes of digitalization and smartification influence the already consolidated territorial divides, i.e., those between the urban and the rural, and between that which is in the administrative boundaries of the city and that which is not. An argument is made that an ICT-supported emergence of a virtual space, where a great number of smart services can be delivered, ultimately will change our understanding of what cities are and what they are for. To address this complex and multifaceted issue, the discussion in this chapter is framed by a set of overlapping concepts, including smart territory, smart services, smart services’ ecosystem, cohesion, regional disparities, digitalization, and others. © 2025 selection and editorial matter, Anna Visvizi and Hanna Godlewska-Majkowska; individual chapters, the contributors. |
