From legislation to obligation
Given the rise in Australia's biodiversity and habitat loss, in this paper we explore how smart urban governance—might move beyond its more anthropocentric focus on citizens, civic institutions, and the urban environment to address multispecies justice. Situated in Brisbane, Australia, our research contributes new knowledge (co)produced with stakeholders who identify four anthropocentric barriers within smart urban governance: (1) property owners…
Creative Futuring for More-Than-Human Worlds

It draws on techniques of futuring as a methodology to explore how creative practice as an act of futuring and exhibitions as sites to ponder environmenta governance can empower more-than-human futures. Reporting on participatory observations and semistructured interviews with the exhibition audience the article posi…
Reparative futures of smart urban governance
In recent years, urban governance within smart city contexts has increasingly turned towards processes and practices of “futuring” to guide city visions and planning. Particularly with the increased focus on sustainability within smart urban governance, these futuring practices often rely on environmental monitoring technologies to guide reparative actions for environmental harms and promote multispecies justice. Yet, these futuring practices oft…
More-than-human smart urban governance
Environmental change is giving rise to more-than-human thinking/practice about cities. At the same time, ‘smart’ thinking/practice about cities driven by technocratic approaches, have been critiqued for reinforcing human exceptionalism. That is, nonhuman nature in cities is increasingly perceived and governed via digital technologies that rarely account for limits to human perception. Here, we offer an alternative and address how digital technolo…
More-than-human city-region foresight
Real-time data from urban and rural regions is increasingly being used by policymakers to achieve environmental sustainability goals within smart cities. At the same time, smart urban governance has been criticized for its technocratic and human-centric approach that sacrifices long-term planning for the here-and-now and overlooks the more-than-human in sustainability-related city-region foresight strategies. By reviewing two city-region foresigh…
