Digital technologies are increasingly being used to manage city services and infrastructures, govern urban life, solve urban issues, and drive local and regional economies. While smart city advocates promote the benefits of smart urbanism, such as increased efficiency, sustainability, resilience, competitiveness, safety, and security, critics raise concerns about negative effects such as the production of technocratic governance, the corporatization of urban services, technological lock-ins, privacy harms, and vulnerability to cyberattacks.
This book aims to address these challenges by exploring social, political, and practical interventions that can enable more equitable and just smart cities. Through a range of international case studies, including examples from Ireland, the United States of America, Colombia, the Netherlands, Singapore, India, and the United Kingdom, the book discusses a diverse range of issues, including political economy, citizenship, standards, testing, urban regeneration, ethics, surveillance, privacy, and cybersecurity.
The book will be of interest to urban policymakers, as well as researchers in Regional Studies and Urban Planning. By examining the successes and failures of smart city initiatives, the book provides valuable insights into the potential benefits and risks of digital technologies in urban development. It offers practical recommendations for policymakers and practitioners to ensure that smart city initiatives are implemented in a way that benefits society as a whole, while minimizing some of their perils.
