Scaling the Smart City: The Design and Ethics of Urban Technology engages with the smart city as a problem of scale. It disentangles the smart city from its corporate and technocratic strong hold by presenting an accessible design framework that productively aligns philosophical thinking on technology with foundational technical understandings of urban technology and smart system design. Scaling the Smart City: The Design and Ethics of Urban Technology complements and mediates between critical social theory perspectives of the smart city and technically comprehensive case studies. It examines these case examples and critiques design prototypes by threading the overarching principles of the smart city through urban, spatial, and personal scales. The knowledge and know-how to design and create urban technologies and smart cities is steadily moving from a niche field to a core industry competency. Scaling the Smart City: The Design and Ethics of Urban Technology outlines a unique cross scalar design framework, developed to teach smart cities design to designers and engineers. It unpacks the "backbox" of smart city initiatives and demystifies physical computing system design concepts. The book’s analysis of real-world case examples and design prototypes aims to demonstrate how design thinking and practice can better engage with the ethical implications of creating urban technologies and smart systems for society. It uses a clear, accessible, and instructive style of writing that synthesizes relevant scholarship and concepts to develop the reader’s foundational understanding of the contemporary smart city paradigm. It also explores the ethical implications of urban technologies and smart city initiatives. This book is an invaluable resource for readers in the established fields and professions of design, architecture, urban design, and city planning as well as the emerging fields of urban technology and urban interaction design. Connects theory and practice to extend understandings of urban technologies and smart cities for designers Leverages a selection of real-world smart city case examples and urban technology design prototypes to explore critical philosophical and ethical questions around the implications of technology in the urban and built environment Provides an accessible and illustrative guide to technical principles of urban sensing and sense-making apparatus foundational to the design of urban technology and smart cities Utilizes visual iconography, diagramming and flow charts to illustrate urban technology concepts, configurations, sequences, interactivity, and technical systems alongside human-technology mediation analysis
