Throughout history, humanity has sought the betterment of its
communities. In the 21st century, humanity has technology on its
side in the process of improving its cities. Smart cities make
their improvements by gathering real-world data in real time.
Still, there are many complexities that many do not catch-they are
invisible. It is important to understand how people make sense at
the urban level and in extra-urban spaces of the combined
complexities of invisibilities and visibilities in their
environments, interactions, and infrastructures enabled through
their own enhanced awareness together with aware technologies that
are often embedded, pervasive, and ambient. This book probes the
visible and invisible dimensions of emerging understandings of
smart cities and regions in the context of more aware people
interacting with each other and through more aware and pervasive
technologies. Visibilities and Invisibilities in Smart Cities:
Emerging Research and Opportunities contributes to the research
literature for urban theoretical spaces, methodologies, and
applications for smart and responsive cities; the evolving of urban
theory and methods for 21st century cities and urbanities; and the
formulation of a conceptual framework for associated methodologies
and theoretical spaces. This work explores the relationships
between variables using a case study approach combined with an
explanatory correlational design. It is based on an urban research
study conducted from mid-2015 to mid-2020 that spanned multiple
countries across three continents. The book is split into four
sections: introduction to the concepts of visible and invisible,
frameworks for understanding the interplay of the two concepts,
associated and evolving theory and methods, and extending current
research as opportunities in smart city environments and regions.
Covering topics including human geography, smart cities, and urban
planning, this book is essential for urban planners, designers,
city officials, community agencies, business managers and owners,
academicians, researchers, and students, including those who work
across multiple domains such as architecture, environmental design,
human-computer interaction, human geography, information
technology, sociology, and affective computing.
