dc.description.abstract	This paper contributes to the politicization of the smart urbanism and data-driven governance by making visible some of the potential inequalities emerging from these transitions through a provisional risk-class analysis. To pursue this analysis, it focuses on the case of smart urbanism and its associated process of data-driven governance in China, focusing specifically on the manner in which Chinese smart urbanism, in terms of its security measures, including widespread use of facial recognition, and the roll-out of social credit scoring, is affecting inequalities. This paper proposes risk-class analysis as a toolbox that can pose new questions in the search for what types of potential risks and inequalities emerging from smart urbanism and data-driven governance as is being rolled out in the Chinese context.	en_US
