Abstract

Technology has been hailed as a panacea for global and local challenges in urban development. This research note explores the role technology plays in facilitating intelligent urbanism and considers how Illich’s notion of convivial living can inform urban development. Here, we present one case study on energy that is a work in progress. Two future cases will include transportation and food sourcing. The broader objective of this work is to develop a framework which those involved in the planning, design and deployment of technology in urban spaces can use to integrate conviviality into such environments. This note takes a step in this direction by describing the key elements which can promote convivial tools to facilitate convivial living.
