More about the book
"This book provides a practical perspective on the rapidly growing field of smart cities from a user-experience perspective. More than half of the world's population is now living in cities and predictions suggest that this number will rise to two-thirds by 2050. This means that more people than ever before will share the same urban infrastructure, leading to a plethora of challenges. In order to prepare for this, governments around the world are heavily investing in smart city technologies. At the same time, thought leaders and scholars argue for a movement towards smart citizens and more participatory approaches to city making. In Making cities smarter, Martin Tomitsch focuses on an often-overlooked aspect within the smart city discourse-- the design of the interface between citizens and smart city systems."--Page 4 de la couverture.
