Our very own Dr Dan McQuillan has written an article for the Guardian’s Cities in development series about the discussion around ‘Smart Slums’.
The article raises important questions around some of the negative impacts of ICT4D; and that a push for ‘smart slums’ could be appropriated for social justice.
This in-depth article talks through alternative approaches currently being tested through ‘bottom-up citizen science’ which involve ‘citizens in using embedded sensor technology to answer their own questions about their environments.’
