Listen to the episode:
Summary of the the debate article titled Constructing a universal logic of urban control? International standards for city data, management and interoperability from 2018 by Seth Schindler and Simon Marvin, published in the City – analysis of urban trends, culture, theory, policy, action journal.
Since we are investigating the future of cities, I though it would be interesting to include how standards approach data and urban management from a generalisation point of view. The article investigates 3 ISO standards promising to standardise cities as data, quality management and simplified decision-making. Furthermore, this article will be the basis of the next research episode which will debate the conclusions of this article.
You can find the article through this link.
