While this solution seen some as part seamless, interconnected frictionless future, alternative views suggest smart make room messiness, inefficiency incoherence; includes ‘not smart’. Based on premise, we ask question: being ‘smart’, what aspects are missing out on? This chapter begins defining terms, such ‘sharing’ ‘sharing cities’, makes connection ‘smart’. We then introduce piece research – workshops with local experts from UK Engineering Physical Sciences Research Council-funded Liveable Cities project in discuss debates about cities. conclude arguing importance missing: different forms infrastructures enable practices both ‘smart’ ‘non-smart’.
