This book may appeal to you if you're fascinated by how digital technology is transforming urban spaces and influencing our everyday lives. It offers insights into the intersection of technology, urban planning, and environmental science, providing a thought-provoking exploration of the cities we live in today and how they might evolve in the future.

In the contemporary city, the physical infrastructure and sensorial experiences of two millennia are now interwoven within an invisible digital matrix. This matrix alters human perceptions of the city, informs our behaviour, and increasingly influences the urban designs we ultimately inhabit.

Description

Digital Futures and the City of Today cuts through these issues to analyse the work of architects, designers, media specialists, and a growing number of community activists, laying out a multifaceted view of the complex integrated phenomenon of the contemporary city.

Split into three relevant sections, the book interrogates the concept of the “smart” city, examines innovative digital projects from around the world, documents experimental visions for the future, and describes projects that engage local communities in the design process.
