Artificial Intelligence and the City: Urbanistic Perspectives on AI - Book Launch

This book explores in theory and practice how artificial intelligence (AI) intersects with and alters the city. The contributors draw upon theories and methods from urban geography, planning, architecture, science and technology studies, sociology, and political science to examine case studies of autonomous vehicles, urban robots, platforms, algorithms, and city brains. The findings reveal the multitude of repercussions that AI is having on society, infrastructure networks, governance processes, and urban transitions. 

This book launch will provide an opportunity for the editors to introduce the book and engage in a roundtable discussion with the panellists and audience members about current and future issues related to urban AI.
