There is a long history of governments, businesses, science and
citizens producing and utilizing data in order to monitor,
regulate, profit from and make sense of the urban world. Recently,
we have entered the age of big data, and now many aspects of
everyday urban life are being captured as data and city management
is mediated through data-driven technologies. Data and the City is
the first edited collection to provide an interdisciplinary
analysis of how this new era of urban big data is reshaping how we
come to know and govern cities, and the implications of such a
transformation. This book looks at the creation of real-time cities
and data-driven urbanism and considers the relationships at play.
By taking a philosophical, political, practical and technical
approach to urban data, the authors analyse the ways in which data
is produced and framed within socio-technical systems. They then
examine the constellation of existing and emerging urban data
technologies. The volume concludes by considering the social and
political ramifications of data-driven urbanism, questioning whom
it serves and for what ends. This book, the companion volume to
2016's Code and the City, offers the first critical reflection on
the relationship between data, data practices and the city, and how
we come to know and understand cities through data. It will be
crucial reading for those who wish to understand and conceptualize
urban big data, data-driven urbanism and the development of smart
cities.

This volume contains the extended papers selected for presentation
at the ninth edition of the International Symposium on Web &
Wireless Geographical Information Systems 2 (WGIS 2009) hosted by
the National Centre for Geocomputation in NUI Maynooth 2 (Ireland).
WGIS 2009 was the ninth in a series of successful events beginning
with Kyoto 2001, and alternating locations between East Asia and
Europe. We invited s- missions that provided an up-to-date review
of advances in theoretical, technical, and 2 practical issues of W
GIS and Intelligent GeoMedia. Reports on ongoing implemen- tions
and real-world applications research were particularly welcome at
this symposium. 2 Now in its ninth year, the scope of W GIS has
expanded to include continuing - vances in wireless and Internet
technologies that generate ever increasing interest in the
diffusion, usage, and processing of geo-referenced data of all
types - geomedia. Spatially aware wireless and Internet devices
offer new ways of accessing and anal- ing geo-spatial information
in both real-world and virtual spaces. Consequently, new challenges
and opportunities are provided that expand the traditional GIS
research scope into the realm of intelligent media - including
geomedia with context-aware behaviors for self-adaptive use and
delivery. Our common aim is research-based innovation that
increases the ease of creating, delivering, and using geomedia
across different platforms and application domains that continue to
have dramatic effect on today's society.
