A unique examination of the civic use, regulation, and politics of
communication and data technologies City life has been reconfigured
by our use-and our expectations-of communication, data, and sensing
technologies. In this book Alison Powell examines the civic use,
regulation, and politics of these technologies, looking at how
governments, planners, citizens, and activists expect them to
enhance life in the city. She argues that the de facto forms of
citizenship that emerge in relation to these technologies represent
sites of contention over how governance and civic power should
operate. These sites become more significant as an increasingly
urbanized and polarized world faces new struggles over local
participation and engagement. The author moves past the usual
discussion of top-down versus bottom-up civic action and instead
explains how citizenship shifts in response to technological change
and particularly in response to issues related to pervasive
sensing, big data, and surveillance in "smart cities."
