This book is the first attempt to explore the use and application
of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and related smart
technologies in cities and for the sole purpose of reaching
positive peace. The everyday usage of digital technologies in
cities encourages us to study the benefits, co-benefits,
disadvantages, and threats of ICT application in cities and urban
environments. The continuous growth of digital technologies and
their growing demand in everyday urban practices and systems are
already known to scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers.
However, this book explores whether or not such applications and
usage help us reaching positive peace. This approach is novel in
the field of urban studies, allowing us to identify and highlight
best practices, successes, and failures of ICT application to meet
positive peace pillars. The scope of the book highlights our
focus on positive peace and its eight pillars, mainly how they are
meant to be achieved in cities and urban areas. With an analytical
view on the topic, we aim to reflect on the systematic features of
urban systems, using positive peace pillars as the primary targets.
We believe ICT application and usage in cities could be more
directive and beneficial to reach peace and prosperity to achieve
such a goal. Therefore, this book provides a holistic guideline and
coverage of ICT use for positive peace pathways and peace-building
practices. We hope the findings of the book help researchers and
policy-makers to come up with novel and integrated strategies,
ensuring that our everyday usage of digital technologies, ICT, and
smart tools, are more meaningful and people-oriented.
