Singapore's Smart Nation initiative has been conceived as a twenty-first century national development strategy that would, among other things, make urban life in the city-state more convenient and efficient for people in the future. Yet, there seems to be a notable chasm between the promises of smart urban futures and how they have been realised in space and experienced by urban inhabitants on the ground. This rhetoric/practice disjuncture, I argue, is largely a function of the shifting and competing power relations underlying the mobilisation of futurity in smart urbanisation, and it points more broadly to gaps in the conceptualisation and operationalisation of smart urbanism in Singapore.This thesis aims to critically interrogate how visions of the future are programmed, engaged, and negotiated in and through a specific smart urban intervention in Singapore: the E-Payments programme, a strategic national project developed to drive the Smart Nation initiative by rendering financial transactions simple, swift, and safe for consumers and businesses. In this study, I work through this aim by examining the introduction of the E-Payments programme in an everyday and ubiquitous site/sight in Singapore ± the hawker centre. To adequately engage with the discursive and experiential dimensions of smart urban futures necessitated by the research aim, I draw on discourse analysis of official publications and newspaper articles on the E-Payments programme, ethnographic fieldwork at a hawker centre marked by the intervention, and in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 20 urban dwellers (between 22-66 years old). Based on findings gathered through these methods, I demonstrate how smart urban futures (i) are continually made and remade in space and across time; (ii) are experienced in contradictory and uneven manners by urban dwellers on the ground; and (iii) can be negotiated by people in and through various practices. In these ways, I contend that smart urban futures are not teleological, monolithic, and predetermined but are indeterminate, open to negotiation, and constantly developing in space and across time.This thesis thus builds on current discussions on already-existing smart urbanism as well as everyday geographies of the future by providing a nuanced, ground-level empirical analysis of how smart urban futures materialise ± and indeed, are currently materialising ± in a specific site in Singapore. Beyond drawing empirical attention to how smart urban futures are realised and negotiated on the ground, this thesis contributes to discussions in human geography and urban studies on smart cities, futurity, and, more widely, urban development by offering a reconceptualisation of smart urbanism that takes seriously the work that the future does in smart urbanisation. Whereas this literature has tended to neglect the role of the future, this study shows how urban geographies are made and remade through the constant folding of futures into the here and now through smart urbanisation.

520 $a Singapore's Smart Nation initiative has been conceived as a twenty-first century national development strategy that would, among other things, make urban life in the city-state more convenient and efficient for people in the future. Yet, there seems to be a notable chasm between the promises of smart urban futures and how they have been realised in space and experienced by urban inhabitants on the ground.
