Software has become essential to the functioning of cities. It is
deeply embedded into the systems and infrastructure of the built
environment and is entrenched in the management and governance of
urban societies. Software-enabled technologies and services enhance
the ways in which we understand and plan cities. It even has an
effect on how we manage urban services and utilities. Code and the
City explores the extent and depth of the ways in which software
mediates how people work, consume, communication, travel and play.
The reach of these systems is set to become even more pervasive
through efforts to create smart cities: cities that employ ICTs to
underpin and drive their economy and governance. Yet, despite the
roll-out of software-enabled systems across all aspects of city
life, the relationship between code and the city has barely been
explored from a critical social science perspective. This
collection of essays seeks to fill that gap, and offers an
interdisciplinary examination of the relationship between software
and contemporary urbanism. This book will be of interest to those
researching or studying smart cities and urban infrastructure.
