Artificial Intelligence and the City : Urbanistic Perspectives on AI, Paperback / softback Book

Artificial Intelligence and the City : Urbanistic Perspectives on AI Paperback / softback

Edited by Federico (University of Manchester, UK) Cugurullo, Federico (King's College London, UK) Caprotti, Matthew Cook, Andrew Karvonen, Pauline McGuirk, Simon Marvin

Paperback / softback

Description

This book explores in theory and practice how artificial intelligence (AI) intersects with and alters the city.

Drawing upon a range of urban disciplines and case studies, the chapters reveal the multitude of repercussions that AI is having on urban society, urban infrastructure, urban governance, urban planning and urban sustainability. Contributors also examine how the city, far from being a passive recipient of new technologies, is influencing and reframing AI through subtle processes of co-constitution.

The book advances three main contributions and arguments:First, it provides empirical evidence of the emergence of a post-smart trajectory for cities in which new material and decision-making capabilities are being assembled through multiple AIs. Second, it stresses the importance of understanding the mutually constitutive relations between the new experiences enabled by AI technology and the urban context. Third, it engages with the concepts required to clarify the opaque relations that exist between AI and the city, as well as how to make sense of these relations from a theoretical perspective. Artificial Intelligence and the City offers a state-of-the-art analysis and review of AI urbanism, from its roots to its global emergence.

It cuts across several disciplines and will be a useful resource for undergraduates and postgraduates in the fields of urban studies, urban planning, geography, architecture, urban design, science and technology studies, sociology and politics.
