Know about the book -

The Digital City and Mediated Urban Ecologies is written by Kristin Scott and published by Springer. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 3319391739 (ISBN 10) and 9783319391731 (ISBN 13).

This book examines the phenomenon of the “digital city” in the US by looking at three case studies: New York City, San Antonio, and Seattle. Kristin Scott considers how digital technologies are increasingly built into the logic and organization of urban spaces and argues that while each city articulates ideals such as those of open democracy, civic engagement, efficient governance, and enhanced security, competing capitalist interests attached to many of these digital technological programs make the “digital city” problematic.
