Product Information

What makes a city smart? The Smart City in a Digital World takes on this question by describing, challenging, and offering democratic alternatives to the view that the answer begins and ends with technology. In the wake of the 2008 global financial meltdown, corporations converged on cities around the world to sell technology, harvest valuable data, and deepen the private governance of urban life. They partnered with governments to promise what on the surface look like unalloyed benefits to city dwellers: safer streets, cleaner air, more efficient transportation, instant communication for all, and algorithms that take governance out of the hands of flawed human beings. Another story lies beneath that surface. Technology-driven smart cities deepen surveillance, shift urban governance to private companies, shrink democracy, create a hacker's paradise, and hasten the coming of catastrophic climate change. The Smart City insists that people make cities smart, that human governance still matters, and that genuinely intelligent cities start with a vibrant democracy, a commitment to public space, and to citizen control over technology. To make this happen, we need to understand the technologies, the organizations, and the mythologies that power the global smart cities movement, as well as the growing resistance to the technology-driven city. Drawing on case studies from around the world that document the redevelopment of old cities and the creation of entirely new ones, The Smart City provides an essential guide to the future of urban life in a digital world.

Reviews
This is a book that challenges the current excitement about 'smart cities', a buzzword that Vincent Mosco critically dissects as another of the 'sublime visions', like 'garden cities' and 'postmodern cities', that continually resurface as urban mythologies... an important source for urban studies and communications scholars as well as urban planners, technology students, sociologists and political economists and others concerned about the future of cities as spaces for people and not just for private profit., ' The Smart City in a Digital World is already a classic book summarizing and adapting Vincent Mosco's thinking to the new mythology of contemporary societies: smart cities. The smartness of our cities is not made by people, but by technologies. The smartness is an obliged future all the cities should aim for. The smartness is a political idea created by a mix of business interests, surveillance capitalism, and neoliberism. Smart cities are, at the end, another mythology brought by digitalization with strong effects on the ways humans live together in big cities. But another way is possible and Mosco, in the last pages, proposes a manifesto for the smart cities, placing humans at the center of them.', The author describes democratic alternatives to the view that what makes a city smart is only technology, arguing that people make cities smart and that smart cities begin with a vibrant democracy, support for public space, and a commitment to citizens' control over technology. He integrates discussion of climate change into the discussion of urban issues, controversies, and alternatives to the smart city concept. He draws on case studies from around the world to discuss various meanings of smart cities; the history of the smart city concept; technologies involved in the infrastructure of smart cities and how they are increasingly integrated into urban life; smart city governance by the state, private businesses, and citizens; myths, imaginaries, and ideologies of cities and what they might become; and the problems and potential of smart cities., 'This is an insightful, informative book that takes a critical, informed look into a technology-driven development from a social sense perspective.'
