Technological Forecasting and Social Change, 2014, vol. 89, issue C, 63-67

Abstract: As cities become the pillars of economic production, operating them by using the latest technology takes center stage. This introduction to a special issue on the “city and technology” reviews one of the developing areas in making cities more efficient and effective via using technology as part of a whole system. Invited authors presented their research in fourteen articles on the effect of technology vis-à-vis the functioning of cities as a system. They examine the opportunities and challenges presented by the integration of technology in various aspects of operating a city.
