Yet these models limit our understanding of what we can know about a city. A City Is Not a Computer reveals how cities encompass myriad forms of local and indigenous intelligences and knowledge institutions, arguing that these resources are a vital supplement and corrective to increasingly prevalent algorithmic models.Shannon Mattern begins by examining the ethical and ontological implications of urban technologies and computational models, discussing how they shape and in many cases profoundly limit our engagement with cities. She looks at the methods and underlying assumptions of data-driven urbanism, and demonstrates how the "city-as-computer" metaphor, which undergirds much of today's urban policy and design, reduces place-based knowledge to information processing. Mattern then imagines how we might sustain institutions and infrastructures that constitute more diverse, open, inclusive urban forms. She shows how the public library functions as a steward of urban intelligence, and describes the scales of upkeep needed to sustain a city's many moving parts, from spinning hard drives to bridge repairs.Incorporating insights from urban studies, data science, and media and information studies, A City Is Not a Computer offers a visionary new approach to urban planning and design. 410 0$aPlaces books ;$v2. 606 $aUrban renewal 606 $aSociology, Urban 606 $aSmart cities 606 $aCity planning 610 $aAccessibility. 610 $aAdvertising. 610 $aAmerican Forests. 610 $aArchivist. 610 $aBloomberg Terminal. 610 $aCARTO. 610 $aCareer. 610 $aCivic engagement. 610 $aClimate change. 610 $aCollaboration. 610 $aColonialism. 610 $aCompStat. 610 $aComputation. 610 $aComputer scientist. 610 $aConsideration. 610 $aConspiracy theory. 610 $aControl engineering. 610 $aControl room. 610 $aCopyright. 610 $aCritical practice. 610 $aCultural heritage. 610 $aData set. 610 $aDatabase. 610 $aDecision tree. 610 $aDecision-making. 610 $aDesign tool. 610 $aDesigner. 610 $aDigital humanities. 610 $aEcosystem. 610 $aEmerging technologies. 610 $aEntrepreneurship. 610 $aEnvironmental justice. 610 $aEpistemology. 610 $aEric Klinenberg. 610 $aFunding. 610 $aGenerative Design. 610 $aGeographer. 610 $aGovernance. 610 $aHardware store. 610 $aHousehold. 610 $aIdeology. 610 $aIllustration. 610 $aInformation literacy. 610 $aInformation management. 610 $aInformation science. 610 $aInfrastructure. 610 $aInstitution. 610 $aKnowledge economy. 610 $aLaundry. 610 $aLibrarian. 610 $aLibrarians. 610 $aLibrary. 610 $aLiterature. 610 $aMachine learning. 610 $aMeasurement. 610 $aMierle Laderman Ukeles. 610 $aMovement for Black Lives. 610 $aObsolescence. 610 $aOperating system. 610 $aOperationalization. 610 $aOslo School of Architecture and Design. 610 $aPark. 610 $aPedagogy. 610 $aPhilosopher. 610 $aPolice. 610 $aPolitics. 610 $aPollution. 610 $aPrinceton University Press. 610 $aProcessing (programming language). 610 $aPublic Knowledge. 610 $aPublic infrastructure. 610 $aPublic library. 610 $aPublishing. 610 $aPush-button. 610 $aRacism. 610 $aReal estate development. 610 $aReproductive labor. 610 $aRestorative justice. 610 $aScaffolding. 610 $aSidewalk Labs. 610 $aSmart city. 610 $aSmartphone. 610 $aSupply chain. 610 $aTax. 610 $aTechnology. 610 $aTelecommunication. 610 $aThe Various. 610 $aTree planting. 610 $aTwitter. 610 $aUnemployment. 610 $aUniversity of California, Berkeley. 610 $aUniversity of Toronto. 610 $aUniversity of Washington. 610 $aUrban ecology. 610 $aUrban history. 610 $aUrban planning. 610 $aUrbanism. 610 $aWashington University in St. Louis. 610 $aWi-Fi. 610 $aYear. 615 0$aUrban renewal. 615 0$aSociology, Urban. 615 0$aSmart cities. 615 0$aCity planning. 676 $a307.1216 686 $aRB 10627$qDE-16$2rvk 700 $aMattern$b Shannon Christine$01240708 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bHNK 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910554233203321 996 $aA city is not a computer$92878405 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05286nam 2201021Ia 450 001 9910791043503321 005 20210520003344.0 010 $a1-280-49429-8 010 $a9786613589521 010 $a1-4008-4272-7 024 7 $a10.1515/9781400842728 035 $a(CKB)2550000001273118 035 $a(EBL)870005 035 $a(OCoLC)780425982 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000623887 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11388715 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000623887 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10656329 035 $a(PQKB)11538876 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC870005 035 $a(StDuBDS)EDZ0000406948 035 $a(DE-B1597)447835 035 $a(OCoLC)979624183 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781400842728 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL870005 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10539569 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL358952 035 $z(PPN)199244308 035 $a(PPN)18795965X 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000001273118 100 $a20111018d2012 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurun#---|u||u 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe decomposition of global conformal invariants$b[electronic resource] /$fSpyros Alexakis 205 $aCourse Book 210 $aPrinceton $cPrinceton University Press$d2012 215 $a1 online resource (460 p.) 225 1 $aAnnals of mathematics studies ;$vno. 182 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 0 $a0-691-15348-5 311 0 $a0-691-15347-7 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $tFront matter --$tContents --$tAcknowledgments --$t1.

The question concerns conformally invariant functionals on the space of Riemannian metrics over a given manifold. These functionals act on a metric by first constructing a Riemannian scalar out of it, and then integrating this scalar over the manifold. Suppose this integral remains invariant under conformal re-scalings of the underlying metric. What information can one then deduce about the Riemannian scalar? Deser and Schwimmer asserted that the Riemannian scalar must be a linear combination of three obvious candidates, each of which clearly satisfies the required property: a local conformal invariant, a divergence of a Riemannian vector field, and the Chern-Gauss-Bonnet integrand. This book provides a proof of this conjecture. The result itself sheds light on the algebraic structure of conformal anomalies, which appear in many settings in theoretical physics. It also clarifies the geometric significance of the renormalized volume of asymptotically hyperbolic Einstein manifolds. The methods introduced here make an interesting connection between algebraic properties of local invariants--such as the classical Riemannian invariants and the more recently studied conformal invariants--and the study of global invariants, in this case conformally invariant integrals. Key tools used to establish this connection include the Fefferman-Graham ambient metric and the author's super divergence formula. 410 0$aAnnals of mathematics studies ;$vno. 182. 606 $aConformal invariants 606 $aDecomposition (Mathematics) 610 $aCauchy?iemann geometry. 610 $aDeser?chwimmer conjecture. 610 $aKhler geometry. 610 $aRiemannian invariants. 610 $aRiemannian metrics. 610 $aRiemannian scalar. 610 $aSchouten tensor. 610 $aWeyl tensor. 610 $aalgebraic propositions. 610 $aambient metrics. 610 $aconformal anomalies. 610 $aconformal invariant. 610 $aconformal invariants. 610 $aconformally invariant functionals. 610 $acurvature tensor. 610 $adecomposition. 610 $adifferential geometry. 610 $aglobal conformal invariant. 610 $aglobal invariants. 610 $agrand conclusion. 610 $aindex theory. 610 $ainduction. 610 $aiterative decomposition. 610 $alemma. 610 $alemmas. 610 $amanifold. 610 $atheoretical physics. 615 0$aConformal invariants. 615 0$aDecomposition (Mathematics) 676 $a518 700 $aAlexakis$b Spyros$f1978-$01547899 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791043503321 996 $aThe decomposition of global conformal invariants$93804492 997 $aUNINA
