摘要

智慧城市在全球范围内获得了越来越大的吸引力。这篇评论将智慧城市置于南方城市环境的背景下。我揭开了城市非正式性的神秘面纱，并将非正式性重新塑造为智慧城市研究中的一个有价值的标志。重申Prasad等人的呼吁，即探索非正式性在全球南方智慧城市规划和发展中的中心地位，我认为非正式性具有认知价值，特别是在强调智慧城市的多样性、异质性和不完整性方面。因此，我提倡批判性的视角和分析，以促进对非正式性和智能城市主义的交叉点的更开放和包容的理解。

Smart cities and their settings in the Global South: Informality as a marker

Smart cities have gained increased traction worldwide. This commentary situates smart cities in the context of Southern urban settings. I demystify urban informality and recast informality as a valuable marker in the study of smart cities. Reiterating Prasad et al.'s appeal to explore the centrality of informality for smart city planning and development in the Global South, I contend that informality holds epistemic value, particularly in highlighting smart city diversity, heterogeneity, and incompleteness. Accordingly, I advocate for a critical lens and analysis that fosters a more open and inclusive understanding of the intersection of informality and smart urbanism.

期刊介绍： Dialogues in Human Geography aims to foster open and critical debate on the philosophical, methodological, and pedagogical underpinnings of geographic thought and practice. The journal publishes articles, accompanied by responses, that critique current thinking and practice while charting future directions for geographic thought, empirical research, and pedagogy. Dialogues is theoretically oriented, forward-looking, and seeks to publish original and innovative work that expands the boundaries of geographical theory, practice, and pedagogy through a unique format of open peer commentary. This format encourages engaged dialogue. The journal's scope encompasses the broader agenda of human geography within the context of social sciences, humanities, and environmental sciences, as well as specific ideas, debates, and practices within disciplinary subfields. It is relevant and useful to those interested in all aspects of the discipline.
