A recent article by Jun Zhang and his team in Urban Geography challenges the notion of urban AI as a straightforward progression from smart city concepts.
The researchers argue that AI urbanism encompasses a variety of political and discursive elements, indicating that its development is not predetermined.
This perspective invites a reevaluation of how urban AI is integrated into existing infrastructure and the implications for future urban planning and governance.
