However, recent discussions have begun to challenge the initial promises of these cities, highlighting their inherent inequalities. Scholars are now actively exploring alternative visions of smart cities that aim to address these concerns.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDigital (In)Justice in the Smart City takes center stage in these discussions, shedding light on the need for urban digital justice in the smart city. It delves into the root causes of injustice that permeate various sociotechnical assemblages and raises questions about whether pursuing more just, sustainable, livable, and egalitarian cities necessitates a departure from the confines of smartness. The book explores the interplay between geographies and smart city visions, as well as the ways in which (unjust) geographies are produced through smart pursuits.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUltimately, Digital (In)Justice in the Smart City envisions alternative cities, whether they are characterized as smart or merely digital. It outlines the potential roles that the commons, utopia, and the law can play in shaping our conceptions and realization of better cities. By examining the complexities of digital (in)justice in the smart city, this book offers valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities facing urban communities in the digital age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 720g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 231 x 150 x 33 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781487527150\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44216396873978,"sku":"9781487527150","price":61.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1683290001659_book.jpg?v=1683354932","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/digital-injustice-in-the-smart-city-9781487527150","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
