C ities are sites of innovation. Smart city technology is one form of innovation that planners are increasingly encountering. But how and when does this innovation improve the quality of life in cities? Who decides how and when innovation gets deployed? Urban planners have always played a central role in generating policy, design, and public engagement processes while mediating competing interests in the city. What is the role of the planner in the smart city? Are we, as planning researchers, educators, and professionals, up to the task? The three books that comprise this review speak to the opportunities and challenges planners and our residents face. Interestingly, two of the three books reviewed here, by John Lorinc and Josh O’Kane, come not from planning researchers or educators but from Canadian journalists. The third book, edited by Susan Flynn, gathers 22 scholars of geography, architecture, digital culture, design, equity studies, sociology, digital learning, science and technology studies, theater, urban planning, engineering, creative industries, urban development, and communication. Collectively, these three books offer important critical insights on how efforts to bring new technologies to cities create tensions between innovation, privatesector interests, the role of governments in procuring and implementing innovative urban development projects, and resident engagement in planning and design processes. Though the intended audiences are broader than planning researchers, educators, students, and practitioners, individually and collectively these books are a cautionary tale for our profession and its role in the city-building process as we confront the uses and implications of digital technologies.

become homeowners. Street marches and assemblies are insurgent mobilization practices while pobladores wait for the right to the city, characterized by demanding homeownership in their neighborhoods of origin without being displaced. At the same time, housing movements engaged on an institutional level by constituting comit es de allegados (state-regulated housing committees) and applying for housing subsidies. Indeed, “the poor engage subversively with state programs, transforming state-regulated assemblies into right-to-the-city organizations” (p. 85). Through his ethnographic work, the author identifies that the pobladores’ identity is an ethical and political matter. By describing the pobladores’ engagement in the housing struggles, the author proposes a shift from the traditional perspective of pobladores as a unified identity based on a class-territory category of the urban poor. Moreover, the author recognizes effort-based narratives where “pobladores operated as an assemblage of political and moral obligations by individuals to the community" (p. 123), which determines who has the right to have rights within and outside of the organization. Similarly, P erez reflects on how pobladores reformulate their demands by struggling for a life with dignity, not as a matter of “subhuman” living conditions (p. 155), but rather to be recognized as a political and social producer of the space, empowering communities to decide on their own lives. The Right to Dignity is a book that questions planners and housing policymakers on how urban governance and housing programs are established today. P erez’s reflections are an invitation to address the limitations of transforming the urban debate toward a democratized perspective of planning and to grasp an opportunity to involve communities in the city-making process. Indeed, the book contributes to reflecting on the role and recognition of pobladores and housing movements in the actual urban contexts of neoliberal policies, understanding that there is not a romanticization of the action of the social movements but rather a new moment on the social and political characterization of housing activists in Chile. Moreover, the recognition of pobladores as a housing movement that does not rely upon self-building construction but contests for recognition, fighting the policies of displacement and segregation, struggling for the right to stay put. It also contributes to scholarship of the Global South, where housing policies via a subsidy system are expanding; at the same time, social movements are empowering themselves to achieve social recognition. Likewise, the Chilean case can be relevant for those studying the transformation of social movements today, their linkage with the historical and genealogical past, and how it affects the identification and narratives of the movements today. As an ethnographic work, the book provides insight into how the transformations of housing policies and social movements are direc

have some of the dangerous nostalgia that afflicts many. They ask, “Is Tokyo doomed to be overtaken by the charmless sterility of corporate-led urbanism?” (p. 6). To be clear, I personally love the same Tokyo urbanism as the authors and also dislike the towers-on-podium design, but as urban planners we should remind ourselves that time and again, people hate new buildings until one day the same buildings are treasured historic landmarks. I highly recommend Emergent Tokyo: Designing the Spontaneous City for planners, architects, and urban professionals and only hope more cities can learn from Tokyo’s urbanism. I think that for most cities in the world, especially those in the Americas, Tokyo offers a more attainable urban design template than European cities do, with all of the social and environmental benefits.

Abstract Problem, research strategy, and findings Since the 1960s, African Americans have advocated to be systematically represented and addressed in planning education and practice. Despite burgeoning diversity work, it is unclear how specifically planning scholars have listened. Using a bibliometric and content analysis of the 21 oldest and most-cited planning journals, I analyzed the presence of race, diversity, and African Americans in 19,645 peer-reviewed research articles published between 1990 and 2020. Of these articles, only 4.8% focused explicitly on racial diversity in the abstracts, titles, keywords, or within their main text. Within these 944 U.S. diversity articles, nearly one-fourth (24.47%, n = 231) focused on African Americans. Overall, just 1.17% of the total U.S.-focused planning research in these journals focused on African Americans in this 3-decade period. Of these Black urbanism research articles, an evolving set of 34 themes and 105 story beats built on each other in six story arcs: a) Black housing, segregation, and gentrification; b) Black entrepreneurship and employment; c) Black ecology and environmentalism; d) Black arts, culture, and politics; and e) Black intersectionality. In addition to offering the first quantitative study on Black urbanism since 1990, two main analytical insights are that Black urbanism is a small literature, and specific contours exist to grow Black urbanism beyond its small canon in planning. Limitations to these findings include the small literature size, the lack of engagement with Black urbanism in a broader context than planning, technological barriers for mining older articles from archived databases, and understanding Black urbanism beyond a provincial focus on the United States. Takeaway for practice I offer two suggestions for planning scholars and practitioners: Avoid race-neutral diversity language when practicing in or publishing about Black contexts and recognize that a canon of Black urbanism exists.

The conclusion also leaves the reader desiring an explicit theoretical framework explaining the relationship between infrastructure– governance dynamics and resilience or community empowerment for the most marginalized residents in the researched communities. These minor critiques notwithstanding, James Spencer’s book has a broader import beyond Southeast Asia. It will inspire planning and development practitioners involved in water infrastructure provision to identify, understand, support, and scale up local water infrastructural arrangements and innovations to meet provincial or national development objectives in fast-changing contexts, just as it will provoke planning scholars and students to use infrastructure’s community development potential to articulate normative propositions on what those development objectives ought to be.
