Abstract

Robotics and autonomous systems are reshaping the world, changing healthcare, food production and biodiversity management. While they will play a fundamental role in delivering the UN Sustainable Development Goals, associated opportunities and threats are yet to be considered systematically. We report on a horizon scan evaluating robotics and autonomous systems impact on all Sustainable Development Goals, involving 102 experts from around the world. Robotics and autonomous systems are likely to transform how the Sustainable Development Goals are achieved, through replacing and supporting human activities, fostering innovation, enhancing remote access and improving monitoring. Emerging threats relate to reinforcing inequalities, exacerbating environmental change, diverting resources from tried-and-tested solutions and reducing freedom and privacy through inadequate governance. Although predicting future impacts of robotics and autonomous systems on the Sustainable Development Goals is difficult, thoroughly examining technological developments early is essential to prevent unintended detrimental consequences. Additionally, robotics and autonomous systems should be considered explicitly when developing future iterations of the Sustainable Development Goals to avoid reversing progress or exacerbating inequalities.

2. Competitive urbanism and the limits to smart city innovation: The UK Future Cities initiative

Author

Taylor Buck, N. and White, A.

Abstract

The technological vision of smart urbanism has been promoted as a silver bullet for urban problems\ud and a major market opportunity. The search is on for firms and governments to find effective\ud and transferable demonstrations of advanced urban technology. This paper examines\ud initiatives by the UK national government to facilitate urban technological innovation through a\ud range of strategies, particularly the TSB Future Cities Demonstrator Competition. This case\ud study is used to explore opportunities and tensions in the practical realisation of the smart city\ud imaginary. Tensions are shown to be partly about the conjectural nature of the smart city debate.\ud Attention is also drawn to weakened capacity of urban governments to control their infrastructural\ud destiny and also constraints on the ability of the public and private sectors to innovate. The\ud paper contributes to smart city debates by providing further evidence of the difficulties in substantiating\ud the smart city imaginary.
