Perhaps they don't provide any long-term benefits either, or at least none 
which have yet been identified.

I suppose everyone has an idea of what a "smart" city is supposed to be: it has 
lots of tech stuff and communications infrastructure.  But I suspect the term 
"smart city" is mostly marketing, and anything so vaguely defined is suspicious 
from the start.

What is it supposed to achieve in terms of human peace & contentment?

Sorry to be so negative, but there it is.

Cheers,
