Reviews
“This large volume represents one of the few cases of empirical multidisciplinary research on the geography of smart urbanism. … Sustainable Smart Cities in India can be a compass which academics, practitioners and students can use to traverse the vast constellation of alleged smart cities, and find out if the answer to some of the world’s sustainability issues lies in one of them.”(Federico Cugurullo, Urban Studies, Vol. 55 (15), 2018)
