Description
Artificial Intelligence and the City explores how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming urban society, infrastructure, governance, planning, and sustainability. Through a range of disciplines and case studies, this book examines the complex relationships between AI technology and the city, revealing new insights into the co-constitution of these two entities. The authors advance three key arguments: first, they provide evidence for a post-smart trajectory in cities, where multiple AIs are assembling new material and decision-making capabilities; second, they stress the importance of understanding the mutually constitutive relations between AI technology and urban context; third, they engage with theoretical concepts to clarify the opaque relationships between AI and the city. This book offers a state-of-the-art analysis and review of AI urbanism, cutting across several disciplines. It will be a valuable resource for students and scholars in fields such as urban studies, urban planning, geography, architecture, science and technology studies, sociology, and politics.
