Publisher: Bristol University Press
The "smart city" is often presented as a technological solution to complex urban challenges. However, critics have increasingly questioned the techno-optimistic narratives surrounding these initiatives. This book offers a refreshing alternative perspective by exploring how "home-grown digital disruption," driven and initiated by local actors, challenges the dominant corporate narrative. Drawing on original research conducted in various urban African settings, Odendaal demonstrates how these initiatives can bring about meaningful change. This book is a valuable resource for scholars working in the intersection of science and technology studies, urban and economic geography, and sociology.
