Abstract

Contemporary discourse on the smart city often makes reference to new complex interactions between space and function brought about by the networked condition of modern society. In this context, we cannot analyse the city only in terms of its physical infrastructure, but also have to account for other immaterial flows. This argument is partly premised on the increasing relevance of digital technologies on the construction of space and place where a range of digital services, mediated through mobile devices and distributed infrastructure, act to ‘tune’ our spatial perception ADDIN CSL_CITATION { "citationItems" : [ { "id" : "ITEM-1", "itemData" : { "ISBN" : "9780262013918", "author" : [ { "dropping-particle" : "", "family" : "Coyne", "given" : "R", "non-dropping-particle" : "", "parse-names" : false, "suffix" : "" } ], "id" : "ITEM-1", "issued" : { "date-parts" : [ [ "2010" ] ] }, "publisher" : "MIT Press", "title" : "The Tuning of Place: Sociable Spaces and Pervasive Digital Media", "type" : "book" }, "uris" : [ "http://www.mendeley.com/documents/?uuid=033f8cd6-8b4e-42ee-b06e-d28f8d4694b1" ] } ], "mendeley" : { "formattedCitation" : "(Coyne 2010)", "plainTextFormattedCitation" : "(Coyne 2010)", "previouslyFormattedCitation" : "(Coyne 2010)" }, "properties" : { "noteIndex" : 0 }, "schema" : "https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json" }(Coyne 2010). As a consequence, it is said that our conception of place and space is heavily constructed by the use of digital technologies ADDIN CSL_CITATION { "citationItems" : [ { "id" : "ITEM-1", "itemData" : { "ISBN" : "9788415391074", "author" : [ { "dropping-particle" : "", "family" : "Vicente", "given" : "J L", "non-dropping-particle" : "De", "parse-names" : false, "suffix" : "" }, { "dropping-particle" : "", "family" : "Harger", "given" : "H", "non-dropping-particle" : "", "parse-names" : false, "suffix" : "" }, { "dropping-particle" : "", "family" : "Perello", "given" : "J", "non-dropping-particle" : "", "parse-names" : false, "suffix" : "" } ], "id" : "ITEM-1", "issued" : { "date-parts" : [ [ "2012" ] ] }, "note" : "The Hertzian Landscape of signals and the more familiar geographical landscape are now so intertwined that our concept of reality is really a conflation of the two, x", "publisher" : "Actar (NY)", "title" : "Invisible Fields: Geographies of Radio Waves", "type" : "book" }, "uris" : [ "http://www.mendeley.com/documents/?uuid=52d122e4-46b0-46b8-9802-bcb70f2138a9" ] }, { "id" : "ITEM-2", "itemData" : { "ISBN" : "9780262633130", "author" : [ { "dropping-particle" : "", "family" : "Mitchell", "given" : "W J", "non-dropping-particle" : "", "parse-names" : false, "suffix" : "" } ], "id" : "ITEM-2", "issued" : { "date-parts" : [ [ "2003" ] ] }, "publisher" : "Mit Press", "title" : "Me++: The Cyborg Self And The Networked City", "type" : "book" }, "uris" : [ "http://www.mendeley.com/documents/?uuid=a3bf0a00-1a28-47a1-8e98-c8c89fb6d2d7" ] }, { "id" : "ITEM-3", "itemData" : { "author" : [ { "dropping-particle" : "", "family" : "Wong", "given" : "Matthew", "non-dropping-particle" : "", "parse-names" : false, "suffix" : "" }, { "dropping-particle" : "", "family" : "Powell", "given" : "Alison", "non-dropping-particle" : "", "parse-names" : false, "suffix" : "" }, { "dropping-particle" : "", "family" : "Clement", "given" : "Andrew", "non-dropping-particle" : "", "parse-names" : false, "suffix" : "" } ], "container-title" : "Association of Internet Researchers (AoIR) International Conference, Internet Research", "id" : "ITEM-3", "issued" : { "date-parts" : [ [ "2007" ] ] }, "page" : "17-20", "title" : "Reading Service Set Identifiers (SSIDs): Marking and Locating Public and Private Wireless Spaces", "type" : "article-journal", "volume" : "8" }, "uris" : [ "http://www.mendeley.com/documents/?uuid=b40d7042-48f3-479c-8ac8-71ef682cc2dc" ] } ], "mendeley" : { "formattedCitation" : "(De Vicente et al. 2012; Mitchell 2003; Wong et al. 2007)", "plainTextFormattedCitation" : "(De Vicente et al. 2012; Mitchell 2003; Wong et al. 2007)", "previouslyFormattedCitation" : "(De Vicente, Harger, and Perello 2012; Mitchell 2003; Wong, Powell, and Clement 2007)" }, "properties" : { "noteIndex" : 0 }, "schema" : "https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json" }(De Vicente et al. 2012; Mitchell 2003; Wong et al. 2007). And while such digital technologies have a material basis, their context of operation often depends on the technology of synchronisation through an invisible and intangible infrastructure of information transfer protocols such as Wi-Fi networks, Bluetooth and Infrared signals.
