Our cities are \u201csmart\u201d and getting smarter, we\u2019re told, as information processing capability is embedded throughout the urban environment.\u00a0 Sentient City explores the experience of living in a city that uses networked digital technologies to remember, correlate, and anticipate.\u00a0 Five teams of architects, artists, and technologists imagine a variety of future interactions that take place as computing leaves the desktop and spills out onto the sidewalks, streets, and public spaces of the city.\u00a0 Less invested in predicting future trends in urban technology, these case studies and accompanying collection of essays focus more on debating just what kind of future cities we might want.<\/p>
