Abstract
Smart city initiatives are increasingly dominating urban policy scripts worldwide, and their diffusion is centered upon different regional strategies. Adopting the Narrative Policy Framework as methodological basis, this article examines the smart city strategies developed by the Wallonia and Brussels-capital regions during the 2014–2019 period. Moving away from corporate-led deterministic models of smart city development, it shows that there is no one-size-fit-all approach to smart urbanism.Regional governments attribute different meanings to urban innovation and formulate place-based strategies of smart city development in relation to their socio-economic contexts, seeking to advance technological solutions to what they perceive as the most pressing problems of their territories and populaces.
Introduction
Smart city initiatives are complex transformational processes consisting of profound modifications of ‘soft’ and ‘hard’ components of existing urban regimes (Angelidou, 2014; Wahlstrom et al., 2020 ¨ ).
These initiatives can be understood as urban strategies to advance technological solutions to the pressing sustainability issues facing policymakers(Karppi & Vakkuri, 2020; Viitanen & Kingston, 2014).
