This book makes the case that several urban technologies contribute
to wicked problems such as climate change and vast social and
economic inequalities. Such situations often create unfavorable
conditions for mental life in cities. These conditions force us to
expand the taxonomy of technology to include new designations:
"wicked" and "saving" technologies. Epting holds that the latter
can support worthwhile goals such as socially just urban
sustainability. Along with fleshing out this view, he provides
concrete examples of saving technologies, which include cohousing
initiatives, ariel cable cars, participatory budgeting, and
car-free zones/cities.
