India's Smart Cities Mission constitutes one of the most ambitious urban modernization projects worldwide. Announced by India's prime minister Narendra Modi in 2015, the mission's stated aim is to turn one hundred cities into so-called smart cities. Examining the mission in Pune, Maharashtra, and other cities, I discuss two threads converging in India's Smart Cities Mission: firstly, a long history of attempts to render space legible and produce governmental knowledge via particular tools and technologies; and secondly, a history of successive developmentalist regimes, whose leitmotif are modernist forms of development. Theoretically, I employ the work of five scholars - James C. Scott, Donna Haraway, Shoshana Zuboff, Katherine McKittrick and Ananya Roy - to build up a conceptual vocabulary with which I think through this dual thread of legibility and developmentalism. Empirically, this research is based on 34 qualitative interviews with town planners, architects, decision-makers, engineers, consultants, IT professionals, activists and academics. These interviews are supplemented by content analysis of key documents and media reports, as well as participant observations at a local NGO in Pune. Through two case studies on projects in Pune - a command and control center and an attempt at "slum mapping" - I show the extent to which contingent forms of legibility relate to antithetical visions of development. Reflecting on the larger significance of what might be called the dominant colonial-capitalist episteme, I argue that smart cities not only perpetuate existing colonial-capitalist relations, they also constitute a kind of colonial infrastructure in their own right.

Examining the mission in Pune, Maharashtra, and other cities, I discuss two threads converging in India's Smart Cities Mission: firstly, a long history of attempts to render space legible and produce governmental knowledge via particular tools and technologies; and secondly, a history of successive developmentalist regimes, whose leitmotif are modernist forms of development.

520 $a Indiens Smart Cities Mission ist eines der weltweit ehrgeizigsten Projekte zur Modernisierung von Stadten. Das von Indiens Premierminister Narendra Modi 2015 verkundete Ziel der Mission ist es, einhundert Stadte in sogenannte Smart Cities zu verwandeln. Im Rahmen meiner Forschung zur Mission unter anderem in Pune, Maharashtra, diskutiere ich zwei Themen, die in Indiens Smart Cities Mission zusammenlaufen: erstens eine lange Geschichte von Versuchen, Raume lesbar zu machen und mit Hilfe bestimmter Werkzeuge und Technologien staatliches Wissen zu produzieren; und zweitens eine Geschichte aufeinander folgender entwicklungspolitischer Regime, deren Leitmotiv modernistische Formen der Entwicklung sind. Theoretisch stutze ich mich besonders auf Arbeiten von funf Autor*innen - James C. Scott, Donna Haraway, Shoshana Zuboff, Katherine McKittrick und Ananya Roy - um ein konzeptionelles Vokabular zu entwickeln, das es mir ermoglicht, den doppelten Faden von Lesbarmachung und Entwicklungspolitik zu durchdenken. Empirisch stutzt sich diese Untersuchung auf 34 qualitative Interviews mit Stadtplaner*innen, Architekt*innen, Entscheidungstrager*innen, Ingenieur*innen, Berater*innen, IT-Fachleuten, Aktivist*innen und Akademiker*innen. Erganzt werden diese Interviews durch Inhaltsanalysen von Schlusseldokumenten und Medienberichten sowie durch teilnehmende Beobachtungen bei einer lokalen Nichtregierungsorganisation in Pune. Anhand von zwei Fallstudien zu Projekten in Pune - einer Befehls- und Kontrollzentrale (command and control center) und einem Versuch einer Slumkartierung (slum mapping) - zeige ich, inwieweit kontingente Formen der Lesbarmachung mit gegensatzlichen Visionen von Entwicklung zusammenhangen. Indem ich uber die grosere Bedeutung dessen nachdenke, was man als eine vorherrschende kolonial-kapitalistische Episteme bezeichnen konnte, argumentiere ich, dass Smart Cities nicht nur bestehende kolonial-kapitalistische Beziehungen aufrechterhalten, sondern auch eine Art neue koloniale Infrastruktur an sich darstellen.
