A City Is Not A Computer: Other Urban Intelligences
$30.00
 A bold reassessment of "smart cities" that reveals what is lost when we conceive of our urban spaces as computers
Computational models of urbanism-smart cities that use data-driven planning and algorithmic administration-promise to deliver new urban efficiencies and conveniences. Yet these models limit our understanding of what we can know about a city. A City Is Not a Computer reveals how cities encompass myriad forms of local and indigenous intelligences and knowledge institutions, arguing that these resources are a vital supplement and corrective to increasingly prevalent algorithmic models.
