Recently, however, the promises of smart cities have been gradually supplanted by recognition of their inherent inequalities, and scholars are increasingly working to envision alternative smart cities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInformed by these pressing challenges, \u003ci\u003eDigital (In)Justice in the Smart City\u003c\/i\u003e foregrounds discussions of how we should think of and work towards urban digital justice in the smart city. It provides a deep exploration of the sources of injustice that percolate throughout a range of sociotechnical assemblages, and it questions whether working towards more just, sustainable, liveable, and egalitarian cities requires that we look beyond the limitations of \"smartness\" altogether. The book grapples with how geographies impact smart city visions and roll-outs, on the one hand, and how (unjust) geographies are produced in smart pursuits, on the other. Ultimately, \u003ci\u003eDigital (In)Justice in the Smart City\u003c\/i\u003e envisions alternative cities  smart or merely digital  and outlines the sorts of roles that the commons, utopia, and the law might take on in our conceptions and realizations of better cities.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47919554003102,"sku":"ING-9781487527150","price":181.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781487527150.jpg?v=1782813689","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781487527150","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
