    Open Access•Francesco Tonnarelli, Jonathan Weaver•ARTICLE•Information Polity•2026•References: 28

    This study explores evidence-based urban planning (EBUP) within three secondary cities in the Global South—eThekwini, Khorog, and Bosaso—emphasizing public sector capacity to utilize data in urban management.

To articulate this critique, we focus on African cities and draw on a diverse range of urban and regional scholarship. We present the core assumptions advanced in the mainstream literature on smart urbanism and prove their inability to fit the organisation of African urba…
