At last, a much-needed contribution to the smart cities genre that finally captures the sensorial essence of our everyday encounters with digital technologies and data in cities, which are all about how our embodied capacities are aligned and redistributed to feel, anticipate, desire, labour, and move.
Agnieszka Leszczynski, Associate Professor, Western University, USA
This book provides an essential and critical analysis of people’s encounters with cities under the influence of branding strategies and computer-generated imagery. Degen and Rose animate the theme of urban aesthetics for any citizen attentive to the stories we tell about our cities.
Richard Coyne, Professor of Architectural Computing, the University of Edinburgh, UK
In <i>The New Urban Aesthetic</i>, Degen and Rose explore the emerging interface between digital transformations of urban spaces and multi-sensory geographies. This richly-researched book provides a wealth of insights into how contemporary cities are experienced, navigated and also marketed within an increasingly global digital realm.
