Description

The contributions in this volume map out how technologies are used and designed to plan, maintain, govern, demolish, and destroy the city. The chapters demonstrate how urban technologies shape, and are shaped, by fundamental concepts and principles such as citizenship, publicness, democracy, and nature. The many authors herein explore how to think of technologically mediated urban space as part of the human condition. The volume will thus contribute to the much-needed discussion on technology-enabled urban futures from the perspective of the philosophy of technology. This perspective also contributes to the discussion and process of making cities ‘smart’ and just. This collection appeals to students, researchers, and professionals within the fields of philosophy of technology, urban planning, and engineering.

Author Biography:

Dr. Michael Nagenborg is Assistant Professor for Philosophy of Technology at the University of Twente’s Philosophy Department. He is a board member of the Philosophy of the City Research Group and a management team member of the 4TU.Center for Ethics and Technology. Michael Nagenborg did pioneering work in the ethics and politics of computing and robotics. His current research focus is located at the intersection of Philosophy of the City and Philosophy of Technology. Besides teaching in Philosophy programmes, he is involved in curricula development and teaching of various engineering and design-oriented programmes. Dr. Taylor Stone is cross-appointed as a Postdoctoral Researcher and Lecturer at the Philosophy Department of Delft University of Technology. His research focuses on how technologies and infrastructures shape, and are shaped by, social and environmental values. He takes this up through conceptual investigations into human-technology-environment relations, in combination with practical work on the responsible design of new and emerging technologies. Margoth González Woge is a PhD candidate at the Philosophy Department of the University of Twente. She is a lecturer in Philosophy of Technology at the Technology and Liberal Arts & Sciences (ATLAS) honours programme at University College Twente, where she is also involved in curricula development. Her research focuses on human-technology interactions within high-tech environments, drawing from postphenomenology and ecological-enactive cognition. Dr. Pieter Vermaas is Associate Professor at the Philosophy Department of Delft University of Technology. His research focusses on the epistemology of design and the analysis of claims about what design in engineering, product-development and architecture can achieve and bring to society. He is President of the Society for Philosophy and Technology (http://www.spt.org/),Executive Director of the Delft Design for Values institute (http://designforvalues.tudelft.nl/) and Editor in Chief of the Philosophy of Engineering and Technology book series (https://www.springer.com/series/8657).
