Description
Summary:Cities are constantly evolving towards new directions, often incorporating the latest technological innovations. These new technologies usually take over public spaces and relate to concept and representations rooted and anchored in imaginaries. Perceived as a symbol of performance, the Smart City model seems to promote a digitized and automated future, promising potential improvement of urban planning and infrastructure, services, and information systems, through urban continuous and almost instantaneous flows’ prediction and monitoring, consequently influencing urban dynamics, particularly in the context of health crisis around the pandemic. The aim is to question the possible "obsolescence" of the Smart City model, through a trans-disciplinary approach, considering both imaginaries and infrastructures dependent on digital technologies. The focus will be on the future of this model, through a case study in France, leading to the questioning of a Post Smart City existence.
