Digital technologies smart cities, and the environment: In the ruins of broken promises
- Bristol Bristol University press 2024
- iv, 163 p. Includes bibliographical reference and index
The concept of smart cities holds environmental promises: that digital technologies will reduce carbon emissions, air pollution and waste, and help address climate change. Drawing on academic scholarship and two case studies from Manchester and Helsinki, this timely and accessible book examines what happens when these promises are broken, as they prioritise technological innovation rather than environmental care.
