      abstract = {"​This book introduces the concept of the 'autonomous  city'- a concept that has been developed from the 'smart  cities' model that is based on a city's ability to gather  data and taking it one step further. The digital revolution  has brought about numerous changes in the urban realm,  along with the understanding that technology can aid in  increasing the performance and efficiency of urban areas.  This technology has given rise to a wealth of data allowing  urban leaders to respond better to crisis and craft  policies that increase the liveability of urban areas. The  'autonomous city' explores the possibility of urban areas  evolving from the dimension of data gathering to that of  action response - so a city able to collect data and render  real time decisions to self-manage a variety of functions  based on its interpretation of that data. The book  discusses how this could lead to the automation of select  urban dimensions for increased efficiency and performance,  but also details how such a process would require careful  consideration when put into practice. This book will be a  valuable resource for scholars and students across Urban  Planning, Sustainability and STS, as well as practitioners  and policy makers involved in the development of urban  life"--},
