How Embedded AI Systems Are Reshaping Urban Life.
AI is increasingly shaping how cities function and how urban life is experienced—from infrastructure and services to everyday movement and interaction. The Algorithmic City examines how these systems are embedded across streets, neighborhoods, and regions, and asks how they will reshape urban life. It raises key questions about governance and accountability at different scales, the digital and physical infrastructures required to support AI-enabled systems, and how their impacts — social, environmental, and economic — will be managed. The theme also explores how data is collected, shared, and contested across public and private actors, and how civic AI can be designed to reflect democratic values, including the role of citizens in shaping and challenging algorithmic decision-making.
