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. The book reveals that smart cities vision of sustainable digital future obfuscates the environmental harms and social injustices that digitisation inflicts. The framework of broken promises, coined by the authors, centres environmental questions in analysing imaginaries and practices of smart cities.



This is a must read for anyone interested in the connections between digital technologies and environment justice.

Recenzijos

"In their book, Digital Technologies, Smart Cities and the Environment: In the Ruins of Broken Promises, Adi Kunstman and Liu Xin unsettle the very ground of the digital as exclusively virtual, building connections between environmental justice and social justice in how we understand smart cities and technology. Through the frame of broken promises and a deft examination of failures and ruins, they shift our understanding of smart cities from sustainability or surveillance to accountability, and question ways the digital is constructed through various social, political and economic actors as inevitable. Thoroughly researched and thoughtfully theorised, the book is an urgent and clarion call to reflect on what remains in a time of ecological crisis and techno-solutionist paradigms."



Xiaowei Wang, University of California, Los Angeles and the author of Blockchain Chicken Farm: And Other Stories of Tech in China's Countryside "Kuntsman and Xin's exciting book offers a much-needed critical exploration of the intersecting realms of urban digitisation, environmental justice, and global inequalities. Through a lens of broken promises, the book delves into the complexities of smart city narratives, revealing the hidden ecological and social costs embedded within. By scrutinizing the physical and symbolic fractures within smart city frameworks, the authors illuminate the silenced voices and overlooked injustices perpetuated by urban digitization. With a focus on environmental care and anti-racist perspectives, this book prompts readers to reconsider the true implications of smart city initiatives and challenges us to confront the ethical and environmental dilemmas they pose. A timely and thought-provoking contribution, this book is essential reading for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding urban sustainability and digital development."
