[Commlist] New dossier in Mediapolis: “The Synthetic City”

New Mediapolis themed dossier: The Synthetic City

Mediapolis: A Journal of Cities and Culture has published a new themed 
dossier, “The Synthetic City,” edited by Scott Rodgers, Helena 
Atteneder, Lou Brandner, Marcos Dias, Diogo Pereira Henriques, and Sara 
Trentham-Black.

The dossier takes “the synthetic city” as a provocation for examining 
and interpreting the emerging implications of AI and related digital 
technologies for urban living. Contributions address questions of urban 
AI, automated governance, digital twins, machine learning, generative 
AI, satellite sensing, architectural memory, and human-machine relations 
in cities.

The dossier is interdisciplinary in scope, and communication and media 
studies scholars are warmly welcome to engage with the contributions.
