An internationally renowned architect, urban planner, and scholar describes the major technological forces driving the future of cities



Since cities emerged ten thousand years ago, they have become one of the most impressive artifacts of humanity. But their evolution has been anything but linear--cities have gone through moments of radical change, turning points that redefine their very essence. In this book, a renowned architect and urban planner who studies the intersection of cities and technology argues that we are in such a moment.



The authors explain some of the forces behind urban change and offer new visions of the many possibilities for tomorrow's city. Pervasive digital systems that layer our cities are transforming urban life. The authors provide a front-row seat to this change. Their work at the MIT Senseable City Laboratory allows experimentation and implementation of a variety of urban initiatives and concepts, from assistive condition-monitoring bicycles to trash with embedded tracking sensors, from mobility to energy, from participation to production. They call for a new approach to envisioning cities: futurecraft, a symbiotic development of urban ideas by designers and the public. With such participation, we can collectively imagine, examine, choose, and shape the most desirable future of our cities.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 151-171) and index.

CHOICE Review

This book sets out to discuss of the "city of tomorrow," without making any prognostications about what that might be. But, there is a reason individuals still read Edward Bellamy and other Utopian or futurist writers dealing with social and urban form. The subjects of these writers' works transcend time, even if the ideas are wrong. This book is not of the same level. Although certainly a well-written piece, it leaves the reader mystified as to who the writers believe is the intended audience. It lacks the sensationalism of a mass market project, and the depth of field expected in a scholarly work. The book is a brief summary of various recent trends in technology commonly considered in relation to urban and social form. Each topic is extensively documented in many places. Yet, the only thread tying the topics together is that each can be associated with a research project carried out (at some point) at MIT; though, in weaving this theme, the writers often miss more engaging, salient examples and patterns. However, this book would make an excellent website, if the site were interactively linked to discoverable versions of the mentioned projects. Summing Up: Optional. All readers. --Peter Lawrence Kantor, Rockefeller College of Public Affairs & Policy
