Résumé de la conférence
The key defining feature of the Smart City is the relationship of the urban with technology. While the concept of the urban is relatively stable and uncontested this is not necessarily the same for technology and the technological. Recent work has begun to question how we approach the question of technology as ontologically loaded. Building on the idea of cosmotechnics this paper explores the ways in which different ontologies can lead to different technics and what this may mean in thinking more broadly about the Smart City as a conceptual and practical idea. In doing this I suggest options for thinking through the idea of the Pluriversal Smart City as a mechanism to broaden our idea of the Smart City and in doing so provide more just and appropriate urban outcomes.
