Abstract
This chapter sets out to unpack the complexities of the smart city concept, discussing its shifting set of meanings in news media in their role of main knowledge brokers. A textual selection of news stories, commentary, online discussions and analysis published by Guardian Cities - the newspaper's platform dedicated to urban issues - is critically investigated in order to elicit the recurrent threads and discursive tensions of a global debate that extends over an ambitious axiological map – technology hype, sustainability, social inclusion and active citizenship being among its bold promises.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
