As the creation of smart cities continues to grow exponentially across the globe, the entrepreneurial-driven push for technology raises a number of fundamental questions about the potential roles of various players in reaching the desired aim of city-level efficiency. By briefly contextualizing the entrepreneurial smart city endeavor, I discuss four major concerns that entrepreneurial aspirations may raise: i) the usage, appropriation, and effectiveness of technology, ii) social polarization, iii) switching costs, and iv) data management. The overall aim of this perspective article is to educate and caution enthusiasts, policy makers and practitioners about the need to address these concerns in order to build inclusive smart cities.
