Book Description:
|
The 'smart city' is often promoted as a technology-driven solution to complex urban issues. Drawing on original research conducted in urban African settings, this book provides a much-needed alternative view, exploring how 'home-grown' digital disruption, driven and initiated by local actors, upending the mainstream corporate narrative.
