The Street As Platform: How Digital Dynamics Shape the Physical City
Abstract
What might be the long‐term ramifications of the smart city and big‐data‐driven algorithms on physical urban space? Designer and urbanist Dan Hill, Executive Director and Chief Design Officer of the UK innovation agency Future Cities Catapult, fast‐forwards to 2050, taking the opportunity to imagine the physical reality of ‘the street’ in an age of eerie silence, drones and lush foliage.
This book reflects on what it means to live as urban citizens in a world increasingly shaped by the business and organisational logics of digital platforms. Where smart city strategies promote the roll-out of internet of things (IoT) technologies and big data analytics by city governments worldwide, platform urbanism responds to the deep and pervasive entanglements that exist between urban citizens, city services and platform ecosystems today.
Recent years have witnessed a backlash against major global platforms, evidenced by burgeoning literatures on platform capitalism, the platform society, platform surveillance and platform governance, as well as regulatory attention towards the market power of platforms in their dominance of global data infrastructure.
This book responds to these developments and asks: How do platform ecosystems reshape connected cities? How do urban researchers and policy makers respond to the logics of platform ecosystems and platform intermediation? What sorts of multisensory urban engagements are rendered through platform interfaces and modalities? And what sorts of governance challenges and responses are needed to cultivate and champion the digital public spaces of our connected lives.
This study aims at providing a literature review of big data, the Internet of Things, and Smart cities research using SCOPUS, which is considered as the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature. The research identified 143 relevant papers. The analyses of distribution of papers by year of publication, subject area, country, type, top 10 authors, and source are presented and discussed. A research agenda for future research is provided.
This chapter addresses the importance of incrementing the conditions for the existence of a “sense of place”. Historically, the sense of place was a not-planned emotional condition. It formed through lengthy processes not replicable in the conscious act of founding a contemporary city. This chapter analyzes different implications of smart city. It expands the analysis to the differences between smart city and smart growth, elaborating on some of the theoretical approaches. A pilot survey has been directed to urban design and architectural professionals and academics. The results are then compared with the projects of two of the most significant smart cities of the Gulf, Lusail in Qatar and Masdar in the UAE.
Tekst rozważa rolę Big Data - ogromnych zbiorów danych - w badaniu kultury oraz w jej tworzeniu. Przedmiotem analiz jest również wpływ tej technologii na twórczość artystyczną, w tym na współczesną architekturę i urbanistykę. Przedstawione zostały scenariusze potencjalnej przyszłej roli Big Data w społeczeństwie.
