'Smart Cities in the Post-algorithmic Era: Integrating Technologies, Platforms and Governance is a seminal original contribution to the emerging field of smart cities. The book sets out to highlight the pervasive importance of smart technologies, platforms and governance in the urban context. It frames this new challenging field, and offers a wealth of informed conceptual and practical studies. For academics, students, and practitioners, this book offers many novel and useful insights.'--Tan Yigitcanlar, Queensland University of Technology, Australia'The 21st Century is said to be the Century of Cities. Echoing this sentiment, Smart Cities in the Post-algorithmic Era argues they emerge from collaboration technologies, data science and AI and the algorithmic logic, under which these technologies operate, can be much more effective if such platforms combine with other sources of intelligence available in cities, such as human intelligence, creativity and innovation, collective and collaborative intelligence already embedded in institutions. The constructive alignment and augmentation of these technologies with human, collective and collaborative intelligence and sharing of the knowledge such a synthesis produces, is the object of this latest book from Komninos and Kakderi.'--Mark Deakin, Edinburgh Napier University, UK
