Description

A compelling critique of “smart city” rhetoric.

Equality in the City engenders a timely debate about what future cities might look like and what their concerns should be. Using a multi-disciplinary perspective, it features acclaimed scholars whose work investigates the proposed networked, digital technologies that ostensibly affect planning policies, control infrastructures, and deliver and manage city services and systems.

The contributors offer insights into how future cities might be envisaged, planned, and executed in order to be more equal.
