This paper acknowledges the contemporary neoliberal mode of operation of Smart Cities. The pitfalls of Smart Cities concerning its propensity towards techno-centric and efficiency-focused governance are identified, with diminutive emphasis on social equity and human-centric urban growth. Thus, the paper elaborates upon an alternative mode of person-environment-interaction based approach towards placemaking: Empathic Cities. This approach implies embracing a shift from efficiency to sufficiency and wellbeing embedded regenerative perspective for conceiving the built environment. First, the variable dimensions of urban growth and governance, which gave rise to the smart city, are contextualized. The embedded neoliberal operational agenda of smart cities are established. On this basis, the underpinnings of an empathic city are established by acknowledging the shift from techno-centric to human-centric and from product-based to context-based smart city and wellbeing perspectives. Strategies toward urban development are proposed, such as embracing a regenerative perspective wherein the city and its constituents need to be understood as interdependent systemic elements while embracing a human-centric and ethical approach. Additionally, a transition from efficiency to sufficiency-oriented practices and a shift towards inclusive modes of participatory governance are proposed as fundamental principles for an empathic future of the built environment.

本文承认了智慧城市的当代新自由主义运作模式。确定了智慧城市在倾向于以技术为中心和以效率为中心的治理方面的陷阱，而对社会公平和以人为中心的城市发展的重视却很少。因此，本文详细阐述了一种基于人与环境互动的场所布局方法：善解人意的城市。这种方法意味着要拥抱从效率到充分的转变，并采用健康的嵌入式再生观点来构思建筑环境。首先，将引起智慧城市的城市增长和治理的可变维度进行了情境化。建立了智慧城市的嵌入式新自由主义运营议程。在此基础上，善解人意的城市的基础是通过承认从以技术为中心到以人为中心以及从基于产品的智能城市到基于上下文的智能城市和幸福感的转变而建立的。提出了关于城市发展的战略，例如，采用了一种再生观点，其中，在拥抱一种以人为中心和道德的方法的同时，需要将城市及其组成部分理解为相互依存的系统要素。此外，提出了从效率到以充足性为导向的实践的过渡以及向参与式治理的包容性模式的转变，这是对建筑环境充满同情心的未来的基本原则。例如，采用可再生的观点，其中城市和其构成部分需要理解为相互依存的系统元素，同时采用以人为本和道德的方法。此外，提出了从效率到以充足性为导向的实践的过渡以及向参与式治理的包容性模式的转变，这是对建筑环境充满同情心的未来的基本原则。例如，采用可再生的观点，其中城市和其构成部分需要理解为相互依存的系统元素，同时采用以人为本和道德的方法。此外，提出了从效率到以充足性为导向的实践的过渡以及向参与式治理的包容性模式的转变，这是对建筑环境充满同情心的未来的基本原则。
