Its easier to do the smart part of smart cities in space because there is no existing infrastructure, customs, etc. to accommodate.

Agriculture and recycling of waste will be crucial for space habitats.
Unfortunately modern humans have been hijacked by their cities, their growth has been so rapid that engineers failed to apply their minds to important issues and scaled up blindly. Bombay (Mumbai) had a population of less than a million in 1900. The population now is 22 million!
If we cannot construct genuine smart cities on Earth, how are we going to construct them in Space?
