Building Human Centred Smart Cities in Developing Countries explores how to develop emergent smart cities explicitly rooted in humane, innovative, and sustainable values (CHIS). The work considers the move from technocratic and idealized smart metropole to humane cities as a product of fundamental demographic changes; the development of a usage-based rather than an ownership economy; the novel implications of digitalization, decentralization, and decarbonization; and Internet-enabled changes in public opinion towards democratization and participation. The authors explore seven dimensions and characteristics of humane, sustainable and innovative cities in the developing world: the economy, people, the place, energy and the environment, mobility, social inclusion and governance. The work explores the operationalization of the CHIS concept into formal planning, policy implementation, and impact assessment considerations. It closes by providing a roadmap for planners seeking to design development policies conducive to human values and long-term social viability.
