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.

Over the past decade, a new set of interactive, open, participatory
and networked spatial media have become widespread. These include
mapping platforms, virtual globes, user-generated spatial
databases, geodesign and architectural and planning tools, urban
dashboards and citizen reporting geo-systems, augmented reality
media, and locative media. Collectively these produce and mediate
spatial big data and are re-shaping spatial knowledge, spatial
behaviour, and spatial politics. Understanding Spatial Media brings
together leading scholars from around the globe to examine these
new spatial media, their attendant technologies, spatial data, and
their social, economic and political effects. The 22 chapters are
divided into the following sections: Spatial media technologies
Spatial data and spatial media The consequences of spatial media
Understanding Spatial Media is the perfect introduction to this
fast emerging phenomena for students and practitioners of
geography, urban studies, data science, and media and
communications.
