- More about Disrupted Urbanism: Situated Smart Initiatives in African Cities
The book challenges techno-optimistic narratives and explores how home-grown digital disruption can lead to meaningful change in urban African settings, providing valuable insights for scholars in various fields.
Format: Paperback / softback

Publisher: Bristol University Press
The "smart city" is often presented as a technological solution to complex urban challenges. However, critics have increasingly questioned the techno-optimistic narratives surrounding these initiatives. This book offers a refreshing alternative perspective by exploring how "home-grown digital disruption," driven and initiated by local actors, challenges the dominant corporate narrative. Drawing on original research conducted in various urban African settings, Odendaal demonstrates how these initiatives can bring about meaningful change. This book is a valuable resource for scholars working in the intersection of science and technology studies, urban and economic geography, and sociology.
