We all want cities, where more than half of the world's population
currently live, to be just, successful, clean, fair, green,
sustainable, safe, healthy and affordable. Will 'smart cities' help
achieve these aspirations or undermine them in the time of
COVID-19? Phil Allmendinger, a world expert on cities, development,
and urban governance, takes a critical approach to the role of
'smart' in future cities and the relationship with city
development. Considering how technology can support active
citizenship, he challenges the commercial drivers of big tech and
warns that these, not developments for 'social good', may dominate.
Focusing on the dangers posed by social media, the platform economy
and AI, he sets out what those making decisions on city development
need to understand in order to save the planet through active
politics and healthy cities.
