- P187 “Might this mean that citizenship is less about a xed human subject and more about an operationalization of citizenship that largely relies on digital technics to become animate?”
What dose author mean the “operationalization of citizenship” of an non-human citizen? Is there a example of that?
- P189 “Yet proposals focused on enabling citizens to monitor their activities convert these citizens into unwitting gatherers and providers of data that may be used not just to balance energy use, for instance, but also to provide energy companies and governments with details about everyday living patterns.” “tooling up citizens” “alter[ing] the subjectivity of contemporary citizenship” “how do urban material politics and possibilities for dem- ocratic engagement also transform?”
In this case, would you think “unwitting” or “tooling up” show a picture that, in this kind of smart city, people’s citizen right will be declined? And also, with the data collector’s raise, is it a possible that there will be a new autarchic “leader” who could and utilize control lots of data?
- P194 “The project proposal materials advocate the smart city as the key to addressing issues of climate change and resource shortages, where sustainable urban environments may be achieved through intelligent digital architectures.”
This “key” is use for the city zone, how about the suburban area?

Following last question, is that the “key” could be the reason of forming smart city dropouts?Which would like more possible to generate smart city dropouts, smart infrastructure or smart citizen? In another word, static or dynamic?
- P17 “Unfortunately Sterling’s call for a temporary autonomous zone7 for smart city dropouts ultimately leads to the Smart City ghetto.”
