Algorithmic Governmentality, Smart Cities and Spatial Justice
International audience ; This paper deals with the forms of governmentality emerging from various technological changes, particularly with projects related to smart cities and digital technologies. Firstly, the relationship between governmentality and digital technologies will be introduced and explored, looking at issues such as the possibility of an algorithmic governmentality and the role of technique and technology. The following section will provide a critical approach to current smart city projects, focusing on a contextualization and a genealogy of these projects, and on the forms of governmentality that they express. The paper ends with an exploration of the challenges and potential risks inherent to the forms of algorithmic governmentality present in smart cities, such as the possibility of spatial injustice.
