Overview
A unique examination of the civic use, regulation, and
politics of communication and data technologies City life
has been reconfigured by our use-and our expectations-of
communication, data, and sensing technologies. This book examines
the civic use, regulation, and politics of these technologies,
looking at how governments, planners, citizens, and activists
expect them to enhance life in the city. Alison Powell argues that
the de facto forms of citizenship that emerge in relation to these
technologies represent sites of contention over how governance and
civic power should operate. These become more significant in an
increasingly urbanized and polarized world facing new struggles
over local participation and engagement. The author moves past the
usual discussion of top-down versus bottom-up civic action and
instead explains how citizenship shifts in response to
technological change and particularly in response to issues related
to pervasive sensing, big data, and surveillance in \"smart cities.\"
