By: Germaine Halegoua   | Series: The MIT Press Essential Knowledge series 
Key concepts, definitions, examples, and historical contexts for understanding smart cities, along with discussions of both drawbacks and benefits of this approach to urban problems.

Over the past ten years, urban planners, technology companies, and governments have promoted smart cities with a somewhat utopian vision of urban life made knowable and manageable through data collection and analysis. Emerging smart cities have become both crucibles and showrooms for the practical application of the Internet of Things, cloud computing, and the integration of big data into everyday life. Are smart cities optimized, sustainable, digitally networked solutions to urban problems? Or are they neoliberal, corporate-controlled, undemocratic non-places? This volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series offers a concise introduction to smart cities, presenting key concepts, definitions, examples, and historical contexts, along with discussions of both the drawbacks and the benefits of this approach to urban life.

After reviewing current terminology and justifications employed by technology designers, journalists, and researchers, the book describes three models for smart city development—smart-from-the-start cities, retrofitted cities, and social cities—and offers examples of each. It covers technologies and methods, including sensors, public wi-fi, big data, and smartphone apps, and discusses how developers conceive of interactions among the built environment, technological and urban infrastructures, citizens, and citizen engagement. Throughout, the author—who has studied smart cities around the world—argues that smart city developers should work more closely with local communities, recognizing their preexisting relationship to urban place and realizing the limits of technological fixes. Smartness is a means to an end: improving the quality of urban life.

Great Chew & Flavor
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 6)
My dogs chow down on these great crunchy/crispy snacks. Great for light to medium chewers. My intense chewer loves the flavor...but he can get through one ear in less than 20 minutes (on a relaxed day).

The Best for My Furry Friend
Flavor Name: Pig Ears, Size: 12 Count (Pack of 1)
As a pet owner who always seeks the best for my furry friend, I decided to try out the Scott Pet GRILLERZ Pig Ears 12CT, and I must say, they have exceeded my expectations. **Quality and Flavor:** The pig ears come in a pack of twelve, and each ear is substantial in size and weight, indicating a high-quality product. My dog was instantly attracted to the aroma and flavor. Unlike some other treats, these pig ears are roasted to perfection, ensuring a rich and savory taste that my dog can't get enough of. **Health Benefits:** One of the standout features of Scott Pet GRILLERZ Pig Ears is their natural composition. They are free from artificial preservatives, flavors, and colors, making them a healthy and safe option for my dog. Additionally, these treats help promote dental health by reducing plaque and tartar buildup as my dog chews on them. **Longevity:** These pig ears are long-lasting, providing my dog with hours of enjoyment. This is particularly beneficial for keeping him occupied and mentally stimulated, which is crucial for his overall well-being. I have found that one ear can keep my dog entertained for a significant amount of time, making it a cost-effective treat option. **Packaging:** The packaging is sturdy and resealable, ensuring the treats remain fresh between uses. This is a thoughtful touch that I appreciate, as it maintains the quality of the product over time. **Price:** Considering the quality and quantity of the pig ears, the price point is quite reasonable. It offers great value for money, especially when compared to other similar products on the market. **Conclusion:** Overall, the Scott Pet GRILLERZ Pig Ears 12CT are a fantastic choice for any dog owner looking to provide their pet with a delicious and healthy treat. The quality, flavor, and health benefits make it a top-notch product that I highly recommend. My dog loves them, and I am confident that your pet will too!
