The smart citizens are come up with commercial idea, if we look on the other way, all the citizens in the smart city are just data indicator or collector, it’s not unreplaceable. Indeed the city and network system become more smart, but what about the citizens? How much benefits could we get from the smart city?

Biopolitical 2.0 seems more concern like population effect. Under this circumstance the citizen and citizenship could have distinct shift. Power and wealthy will shift easily. Is this change give citizen more democracy or constraint the citizen’s distinctive?
