A cooperative venture between the World-Information Institute, dérive – Zeitschrift für Stadtforschung and the Az W

To an increasing extent urbanity is being formed by networks of information technologies. It is not only traffic direction systems, energy supply, infrastructure and planning models that are being based more and more on complex digital systems, the world of work, social spaces and cultural processes are also increasingly relying on a complex system of electronically controlled procedures. Global companies assure us that their technologies will make cities more efficient, safer and cleaner.
But to what extent do these systems really help citizens?
What might the long-term consequences be, what side-effects must we reckon with?
Where are the risks of increasing our dependency on complex systems?
What possibilities for action are open to citizens?
