Abstract The following chapter explores the complicated and still relatively unexplored interrelationship between the strategies associated with the practice of urban design and the application of so-called “smart city” digital technologies in urban areas, within the smart city paradigm. Key concepts of the smart city movement and its critical applications and outputs are defined, and common criticisms of the smart city paradigm are outlined, so as to ground the various technologies associated with the smart city movement within the context of the urban realm. Following that framing, urban design as a discipline for shaping and understanding cities and their relative components is described and contextualized. The opportunities and obstacles for the intersection of urban design with smart city digital technologies in cities are then explored, with a final section considering the future design of cities and the ways that smart cities might integrate urban design, for the well-being of all citizens. © 2022 Elsevier Inc.
