[open-government] [okfn-discuss] Social, democratic and environmental impact of open data in cities?

Mon Oct 5 11:19:20 UTC 2015

This is not my area of expertise so I forwarded Daniel's book suggestions on to a colleague, who echoed the recommendations and also suggested the following:

Designing the Urban Future: Smart Cities [Kindle Edition]    
Scientific American Editors (Author)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00JBKKOPG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_d_detailpage_o09_

City 2.0: The Habitat of the Future and How to Get There (TED Books Book 31) http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00BJ8INII?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_d_detailpage_o08_

Hi Jonathan, all,

3 loosely related but very good books about technology, data and urban development are: 

Adam Greenfield (2013). Against the smart city, http://www.amazon.com/Against-smart-city-here-Book-ebook/dp/B00FHQ5DBS

Anthony M. Townsend (2013). Smart Cities: Big Data, Civic Hackers, and the Quest for a New Utopia http://www.amazon.com/Smart-Cities-Civic-Hackers-Utopia-ebook/dp/B00CF2M9AA/

Stephen Goldsmith, Susan Crawford (2014). The Responsive City: Engaging Communities Through Data-Smart Governance http://www.amazon.com/The-Responsive-City-Communities-Data-Smart-ebook/dp/B00MQTIA3M/

All best
Daniel
