As Cities Compete Globally, The Smart City Has Been Touted As The Important New Strategic Driver For Regeneration And Growth. Smart Cities Are Employing Information And Communication Technologies In The Quest For Sustainable Economic Development And The Fostering Of New Forms Of Collective Life. This Has Made The Smart City An Essential Focus For Engineers, Architects, Urban Designers, Urban Planners, And Politicians, As Well As Businesses Such As Cisco, Ibm And Siemens. Despite Its Broad Appeal, Few Comprehensive Books Have Been Devoted To The Subject So Far, And Even Fewer Have Tried To Relate It To Cultural Issues And To Assume A Truly Critical Stance By Trying To Decipher Its Consequences On Urban Space And Experience.

This Book Opens With An Examination Of The Technological Reality On Which Smart Cities Are Built, From The Chips And Sensors That Enable Us To Monitor What Happens Within The Infras
