Smart City Citizenship provides rigorous analysis for academics and policymakers on the experimental, data-driven, and participatory processes of smart cities to help integrate ICT-related social innovation into urban life. Unlike other smart city books that are often edited collections, this book focuses on the business domain, grassroots social innovation, and AI-driven algorithmic and techno-political disruptions, also examining the role of citizens and the democratic governance issues raised from an interdisciplinary perspective. As smart city research is a fast-growing topic of scientific inquiry and evolving rapidly, this book is an ideal reference for a much-needed discussion. The book drives the reader to a better conceptual and applied comprehension of smart city citizenship for democratised hyper-connected-virialised post-COVID-19 societies. In addition, it provides a whole practical roadmap to build smart city citizenship inclusive and multistakeholder interventions through intertwined chapters of the book.
Users will find a book that fills the knowledge gap between the purely critical studies on smart cities and those further constructive and highly promising socially innovative interventions using case study fieldwork action research empirical evidence drawn from several cities that are advancing and innovating smart city practices from the citizenship perspective.

His main research interest draws on how digital transformation processes driven by AI disruption in the post-GDPR current context are altering techno-political and democratic conditions of data governance for the emergence of new algorithmic citizenship regimes in European (smart) cities and regions by paying special attention to the interplay of multistakeholders and the creation of data co-operatives and platform co-operatives schemes from the social innovation perspective. He is the Principal Investigator of H2020-SCC-Replicate Replication WP (www.replicate-project.eu/city2citylearning), European strategy for Urban Transformations ESRC programme, Smart City-Regions project (Marie Curie), and City-Regions Research Programme (www.cityregions.org; funded by Ikerbasque and RSA). He is fellow at the Regional Studies Association (FeRSA).Over the last 20 years, he served as a lecturer at the University of Strathclyde (UK), Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Belgium), Aston University (UK), University of Malm� (Sweden), University of Iceland, University of Nevada (USA), University of Helsinki (Finland), and University of Mondragon (Spain).
