| Abstract | This chapter addresses the need for a more developed theoretical foundation for smart spaces by conducting an exploration of the nature and prevalence of theory for emergent and evolving smart spaces in urban environments and regions and in everyday life more generally. Motivated by the growing development of theory for smart cities, a review of the research literature pertaining to smart spaces is provided, followed by a review of the research literature for theory and smart environments. A conceptual framework in support of theory for smart spaces is formulated to guide research and practice in smart environments. Using an exploratory case study approach combined with an explanatory correlational design, this work identifies and explores variables of interest for learning more about, and developing an understanding of, smart spaces. This work also seeks to navigate a way of using theory to inform the work of researchers, practitioners, and those concerned with the making and enacting of smart environments. To this end, ambient theory for smart cities is advanced to accommodate smart spaces as a proposed, viable theory, using a number of variables such as connecting and collaborating. While a good correlation among such variables is found, this work also acknowledges limitations, opening the way for opportunities going forward. In conclusion, this work has implications for the mutual enriching of understandings about smart spaces and smart cities in support of dialogue, debate, and interpretation. © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
