Abstract: With the development of smart cities, some socially disadvantaged groups are lagging behind the overall development process of the city due to unequal access to information and resources, and smart exclusion has now become a problem of social exclusion that needs to be overcome. This paper takes the San Francisco Bay Area, New York Bay Area, Tokyo Bay Area and GuangDong-Hong Kong-Macau Bay Area as research objects area, analyses the exclusion phenomenon suffered by the poverty, the disabled group and the elderly group in the process of smart city development, and constructs the social exclusion index from five aspects of economy, employment, accessibility to resources and transportation to evaluate the degree of exclusion of the disadvantaged groups by the cities in the Bay Area.
Then, this article analyses smart exclusion from two aspects: i) the sharing of social resources and the mobility of the disadvantaged groups, ii)whether the sharing of social resources and the mobility of disadvantaged groups can alleviate the phenomenon of intellectual exclusion. This article provides references for cities with different levels of development.
