Abstract	This short piece acts as a coda to this journal's special issue on "Smart Cities and Innovative Technologies." First, it provides a retrospective view of the origins of the smart city concept. The paper, secondly, presents the most recent perspectives on the new interpretations of the smart city notion. It then provides a commentary on the potential directions for a better reconceptualization of smart cities to evade a most likely urban ecocide. Lastly, the short communication concludes by asking two critical questions: (a) Will urban scholars, planners, designers, and activists be able to convince urban policymakers and the general public of the need for a post-anthropocentric urban turnaround? (b) How do the public, private, and academic sectors along with communities pave the way for post-anthropocentric cities and more-than-human futures?
Author Keywords	Intelligent city; smart city; urban informatics; responsive city; post-anthropocentric city; more-than-human city; sustainable urban development
