AbstractOver the last decade, a whole new assemblage of technologies, devices and innovations started to become deployed and experimented in cities under the banner of the “smart city” (e.g. sensors, software, city apps, open data platforms, urban operating systems, etc.). These developments mobilise different types of actors, ranging from global tech companies to local grassroots movements, drawing on multiple geographies, local and global, permanent and temporary. Scholarship in urban studies has developed a vigorous critique on smart city development but has paid less attention to the geographical, economical and (sociotechnical) innovation dimensions associated with it, which may influence how these innovations unfold and become embedded (or not) in society. By combining notions from economic geography and socio-technical studies of innovation, this paper explores how a “mobile” portfolio of smart grid/smart city technologies – developed by a global energy utility corporation – became anchored and recombined in different cities, and what do those processes depended upon.
