  • Silicon Valley Imperialists Create New Model Villages As Smart Cities in Their Own Image
    Journal of Open Innovation: Technology, Market, and Complexity Article Silicon Valley Imperialists Create New Model Villages as Smart Cities in Their Own Image Philip Cooke Mohn Center for Innovation & Regional Development, Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, 5020 Bergen, Norway; cookepn@cardiff.ac.uk Received: 13 March 2020; Accepted: 27 March 2020; Published: 8 April 2020 Abstract: In her study of ‘Surveillance Capitalism’, Shoshana Zuboff cites Google’s parent firm Alphabet’s legal customer-purchase agreement for the parent firm’s Nest thermostats. These impose ‘oppressive privacy and security consequences’ requiring sensitive information to be shared through ‘Internet-of-Things’ (IoT) networks with other domestic and external devices, unnamed functionaries and various third parties. This is for data harvesting, analytics, processing, manipulation and transformation through digital re-sale to the same and other consumers in the form of unwanted, targeted advertising. The point of this identity ‘rendition’ is to massively augment corporate profits. It is but a short step from trapping the unwitting consumer in a ‘smart home’ to planning a similarly mediated ‘smart city’ aimed at further massively augmenting corporate profits. This is happening, as founders of digital media from Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon and Tesla either commission or become beneficiaries of ‘smart city’ planning. However, there is evidence that such imperiousness is increasingly countered by emerging democratic critique of these new ‘model villages’ or ‘company towns’. Keywords: digital innovations; company towns; smart cities; surveillance capitalism 1. Introduction In recent years, such has been the rapid and successful growth of their corporate profits that Facebook, Amazon, Google, Alphabet and Microsoft (FAGAMi) firms specialising in the design or exploitation of identity theft, big data analytics and automated social media advertising that they have had to create new digital accumulation opportunities.

  • After the Contagion. Ghost City Centres: Closed “Smart” Or Open Greener?
    sustainability Perspective After the Contagion. Ghost City Centres: Closed “Smart” or Open Greener? Philip Cooke MohnCentre for Innovation & Regional Development, Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, 5020 Bergen, Norway; [email protected] Abstract: This paper has three main objectives. It traces the “closed” urban model of city develop- ment, critiques it at length, showing how it has led to an unsustainable dead-end, represented in post-Covid-19 “ghost town” status for many central cities, and proposes a new “open” model of city design. This is avowedly an unsegregated and non-segmented utilisation of now often abandoned city-centre space in “open” forms favouring urban prairie, or more formalised urban parklands, inter- spersed with so-called “agritecture” in redundant high-rise buildings, shopping malls and parking lots. It favours sustainable theme-park models of family entertainment “experiences” all supported by sustainable hospitality, integrated mixed land uses and sustainable transportation. Consideration is given to likely financial resource issues but the dearth of current commercial investment opportu- nities from the old carbonised urban model, alongside public policy and consumer support for urban greening, are concluded to form a propitious post-coronavirus context for furthering the vision. Keywords: urbanity; closed model; open model; repurposed ‘agritecture’; urban prairies 1. Introduction Citation: Cooke, P.
