Digital City Science. Researching New Technologies in Urban Environments

How will science and technology shape future cities-and how do cities shape science and technology in return? Who are the actors behind these processes? Driven by a transdisciplinary approach, Perspectives in Metropolitan Research 6 elaborates on the intertwinements of science, technology, and cities. The contributors discuss recent theoretical approaches at the interfaces between digitalization and cities and define their own role as a researcher. What are the assumptions that guide our view while researching? What does it mean to work in a transdisciplinary environment with a focus on the future of cities? In sum, this edition offers an overview of current perspectives on the Digital City. It is conceptualized as a forum for academic exchange on different methods, methodologies, measurements, and materials; on theories, treasures, toys, and tools; on power, prestige, problems, and perfection of/in Digital City Science.
