This document discusses the production of urban space and the concept of smart cities. It references works by James Merrill, Dolores Hayden, and Anthony Townsend on how space is produced and for whose benefit. Examples are provided of Hayden's work documenting spaces created by marginalized communities in East Harlem and Little Tokyo. The document also references a study visualizing taxi pickups and dropoffs in New York City. Readings by Debord, Bauman, and Lynch are assigned for an upcoming field trip, with a blog post due before the trip.
