Abstract
Despite the many shortcomings of the “smart city” model of urban planning and city management, smart cities as both a technological infrastructure and a conceptual framework can be leveraged for change. This special issue contends that smart cities must be updated to account for a broader range of emerging and nascent technologies that are increasingly used to mediate daily life through play and participation. The articles in this issue focus on games and play as a means for both fulfilling the smart city’s desire to be participatory and responding to the city’s multifaceted inequalities. The case studies, examples and discussions in this issue provide a range of recommendations for how smart cities might be reimagined to tackle the various social, economic and environmental issues that are further exacerbated in a time of upheaval and crisis.
