As cities rush to embrace digital solutions, who really benefits? In this episode, Victoria Manya (ASCL), Dr. Rekgotsofetse Chikane (University of Witwatersrand), and moderator Mandipa Ndlovu (ASCL) challenge the 'smart city' narrative. They explore how technology shapes urban governance, infrastructure, and daily life. From Big Tech's growing influence to questions of digital access and privacy, we examine whether digitalisation truly serves all citizens or deepens existing divides. Join us for a critical look at the future of our cities - where innovation meets inequality.
