Abstract: The pandemic has compounded urban megaprojects' exposure to political risk The pandemic also exposed the dire shortage of hard and soft infrastructure in modern cities Governments should therefore weigh building smart city from scratch vis-a-vis improving existing urban dwellings The case of Forest City shows that built-from-scratch smart city projects targeting wealthy foreigners need to adjust and cater to the needs of the local communities to contribute to a sustainable post-pandemic future.
