I am an academic; I study how to evolve cities through IT
Quote
The question of what kind of city we want cannot be divorced from that of what kind of social ties, relationship to nature, lifestyles, technologies and aesthetic values we desire. The right to the city is far more than the individual liberty to access urban resources: it is a right to change ourselves by changing the city (D. Harvey)
Long Bio
I am a researcher. I specialise in gathering and processing intelligence about cities. Currently I am working on how to integrate information flows into sustainable infrastructure; on integrated urban data management in Europe and Post-Soviet countries; and on environmental data flows in China.
Among some of my publications are ""Media & The City: Space, Technology and Communications"" (2012), ""Waves, Bits & Brick"" (2013), ""Communicating the City"" (2017) and ""Saving the World Bit By Bit"" (2021)
