- Title
Digital (in)justice in the smart city.
- Authors
McCreary, Tyler
- Abstract
The article discusses the concept of smart cities and the potential for digital technology to improve quality of life. However, it also highlights the criticisms of smart city discourse, which argue that these initiatives can intensify inequities. The book, "Digital (in)justice in the smart city," edited by Debra Mackinnon, Ryan Burns, and Victoria Fast, explores these critiques and offers alternative visions for smartness that prioritize inclusion and commoning. The book is organized into five sections, covering topics such as the conceptual foundations of smart cities, data justice, infrastructure, digital divides, and urban citizenship. While the book provides compelling critiques, it is noted that there is a lack of engagement with Black and Indigenous struggles for urban space, and future research should address this gap.
