Critics Review
“Gillian Rose demonstrates not only a deep familiarity with the literatures and practices she’s addressing, but also a commitment to incorporating marginalized voices and global examples. Animated Urbanism is simultaneously a monograph on urban imagery, an encyclopedia of digital tools, and a methods textbook, and this hybrid structure makes it unique.” –Shannon Mattern, author of A City Is Not a Computer: Other Urban Intelligences^
“Powerful and well-written, Animated Urbanism makes a substantial contribution to current debates on how ‘the human’ is constituted through digital processes of governance, culture, and experience. Gillian Rose’s systematic engagement with ideas like ground truth and god-trick push the reader to consider wider implications of animated urbanism and the unequal distribution of power and control in the urban world.” –Myria Georgiou, author of Being Human in Digital Cities
