Abstract

While there is a relatively extensive literature concerning the nature of smart cities in general, the roles of corporate actors in their production and the development and deployment of specific smart city technologies, to date there have been relatively few studies that have examined the situated practices by which the smart city unfolds in specific places. In this paper, we draw on three sets of interviews (n = 114) and ethnographic fieldwork to chart the smart city ecosystem in Dublin, Ireland. We examine how the four city authorities have actively collaborated to frame a disparate and uncoordinated set of information and communication technology-led initiatives, what Dourish terms the 'accidental smart city', into an articulated vision of Dublin as a smart city. In particular, we focus on the work of 'Smart Dublin', a shared unit established to coordinate, manage and promote Dublin's smart city initiatives and to drive new economic development opportunities centred on corporate interventions into urban management and living. Our analysis highlights the value of undertaking a holistic mapping of a smart city in formation, and the role of political and administrative geographies and specialist smart city units in shaping that formation.

Abstract

Autonomous vehicle technology is the next frontier of Dublin's mobility sector, with plans formulated governmentally under Smart Dublin initiates for the introduction of this technology in the next 5 years(Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport, 2018).For this change to be successfully implementedand accepted by Dublin's population, it must first be understood what influences acceptance of technological innovation. Within this study, a person's travel priorities, impression of AV technology and level of knowledge of said technology was examined in relation to acceptance. It was also examined across age demographics to garner a more specific understanding of acceptance tailored towards differentage populations. It was found that a person'stravel priorities and impressions have no strong relationship with acceptance of a technology for both Young and Mature adults. Prior knowledge was found to have a relationship with acceptance in the case of both populations, with less information causing more uncertainty in Young adults, and outright rejection of technology with Mature adults. Ergo, when making future mobility changes,public knowledge should be a main priority to allow for the most strategic and successful adaption of Dublin's population to said technology.

Abstract

Initial empirical research concerning the development of smart urbanism focused largely on smart city rhetoric, the marketing materials of companies promoting smart city products and services, and the policy and visioning documents of lobbying bodies and city administrations. This chapter examines how the smart city idea has been enacted through a set of smart city initiatives and brought into common discourse in the Dublin city region through the Smart Dublin programme. It charts how Dublin has moved from an 'accidental smart city' to an articulated vision with its own projects. So successful has this re-articulation been that Dublin was one of six shortlisted finalists for smart city of the year at the Smart City Expo and World Congress 2017. A key factor in the revival of Dublin's fortunes was the adoption of entrepreneurial urbanism to stimulate property development and attract service-based foreign direct investment.
