Starting from Japan and South Korea, Professor Zappa takes us on a critical journey through Asia’s smart city initiatives—questioning whether these projects genuinely improve urban life or simply create high-tech enclaves for the privileged few.
👉 Are smart cities solving urban issues?
👉 Or are they reinforcing inequality through polished tech narratives?
🔍 Join us for an eye-opening discussion on urban development, tech policy, and the hidden politics of “smartness.” Open to all students and faculty interested in cities, technology, and society!
