  • 1 After the Smart City: Global Ambitions and Urban
    AFTER THE SMART CITY: GLOBAL AMBITIONS AND URBAN POLICYMAKING IN PHILADELPHIA A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Alan G. Wiig August 2014 Examining Committee Members: Michele Masucci, Advisory Chair, Geography-Urban Studies Melissa Gilbert, Geography-Urban Studies Charles Kaylor, Geography-Urban Studies Youngjin Yoo, Management Information Systems Rob Kitchin, External Member, Geography, National University of Ireland 1 © Copyright 2014 by Alan G. Wiig All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT After the Smart City: Global ambitions and urban policymaking in Philadelphia is a study of the relationships between digital information and communication technologies, urban policy initiatives for economic development, and the material, spatial consequences of Philadelphia’s shift from an industrial manufacturing city to a node in the globalized economy. The rise of ‘smart city’ policy initiatives signaled a shift in urban governance strategies to use digital, information and communication technologies such as sensors, smartphone applications, and other forms of embedded network equipment, combined with analytic monitoring software, to improve the flow of people, goods, and information through a city. In Philadelphia, the ‘smart city’ acted as a rhetorical device to signal a promising, creative, vibrant, and intelligent city for globally oriented, knowledge and innovation-driven enterprise. The city’s primary use of the ‘smart city’ term was to describe a civic-engagement effort to build an online, workforce education application to train low-literacy residents—often living in formerly-industrial, now marginalized neighborhoods—with the skills to compete for entry-level jobs in the globalized economy.

The Honorable Alan Butkovitz (AB): Good morning. HM: I‟m here today with Alan Butkovitz who is a former Representative who served the 174th Legislative District from parts of Philadelphia County. I appreciate you taking the time to be here with me this morning. AB: I appreciate the opportunity to do this. HM: Thank you. I wanted to begin by asking you about your childhood and your early family life and how you feel that prepared you for public service. AB: I was interested in politics from an early age. Mostly, my grandmother had an interest in public affairs. She had emigrated from Russia and, in fact, the way I learned to read was by reading biographies, a lot of biographies; Franklin Roosevelt [32nd President of the United States, 1933-1945] and Winston Churchill [Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, 1940-1945 and 1951-1955] and David Ben-Gurion [first Prime Minister of Israel, 1949-1953 and 1955-1963]. And I would sit on a little red stool while she would make dinner Friday night and read those things. And she was a very passionate supporter of President Kennedy [John F. Kennedy, 35th President of the United States, 1961-1963] when he was running in 1960, which was the first election that I have any consciousness of when I was eight.
