SUMMARY:Rob Kitchin: Navigating Smart Cities
DESCRIPTION:The vision of the smart city promises efficient administration\
 , improved quality of life for its residents\, and a major contribution to
  sustainability. But what are the logics and ideals behind these promises 
 and expectations? What are the perils when urban planning is determined by
  technology and data?In his lecture\, Rob Kitchin addresses a number of po
 litical and normative questions related to smart cities. He discusses the 
 ethical values and principles that determine the desirable urban environme
 nt we want to create and live in. Therefore\, his presentation explores ho
 w these measures ensure equal access to technology and decision-making\, f
 oster social justice and agency among all citizens. It also examines how t
 hese concerns are conceived and operationalised within smart cities around
  the world. How do these models and visions vary internationally\, for exa
 mple\, between Asian and European countries? The final part of the talk wi
 ll explore the ‘right to the smart city’ and ‘decentering the smart 
 city’. How can these notions be used to create cities that truly priorit
 ise human needs?
