Summary
This open access book explores the use of technologies for urban safety and security. Rather than focusing on the technologies themselves, it provides and in-depth analysis of the complex urban transformations linked to the increasing integration of technical systems in the built environment. Interdisciplinary contributions explain how technologies can improve urban safety, whilst offering a broader discussion relative to urban, socio-economic and political factors. Against simplistic techno-solutionist ideas, the authors illustrate the role of technology as means to an end and show how technologies can widen our understanding of safety and security. Readers are introduced to issues relative to the practical implementation, development, and testing of urban technologies via numerous case studies from cities around the world. Anniina Autero (PhD) is leading Smart urban security and event resilience work for the City of Tampere, Finland. She teaches and does research on safety and security and public economy. She has been a visiting scholar at the University of Colorado, Denver, and Stanford University, California, USA. Ilari Karppi (PhD) is adjunct professor of Regional Studies at Tampere University, Finland. He teaches and researches visionary urban governance and complex adaptive systems in sustainable urban and regional development. His other research interests include transit-oriented development, smart urbanism and strategic urban planning. Marcela de Moraes Batista Simão (PhD) is currently working as a specialist in Sustainability and Smart City for the City of Tampere, Finland, developing projects for the city. She has developed research on safety and security and sustainability. She was a doctoral exchange fellow at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne.
