Big Data, Code and the Discrete City explores how digital
technologies are gradually changing the way in which the public
space is designed by architects, managed by policymakers and
experienced by individuals. Smart city technologies are superseding
the traditional human experience that has characterised the making
of the public space until today. This book examines how computers
see the public space and the effect of algorithms, artificial
intelligences and automated processes on the human experience in
public spaces. Divided into three parts, the first part of this
book examines the notion of discreteness in its origins and
applications to computer sciences. The second section presents a
dual perspective: it explores the ways in which public spaces are
constructed by the computer-driven logic and then translated into
control mechanisms, design strategies and software-aided design.
This perspective also describes the way in which individuals
perceive this new public space, through its digital logic, and
discrete mechanisms (from Wi-Fi coverage to self-tracking).
Finally, in the third part, this book scrutinises the discrete
logic with which computers operate, and how this is permeating into
aspects of city life. This book is valuable for anyone interested
in urban studies and digital technologies, and more specifically in
big data, urban informatics and public space.
