Annotation | In the story, an Indian city noted for its corruption is taken over by Whatsapp and “is owned and managed by a commercial company for private property” (1336 [341]). All the stories in the book are responses to a recent book, A New City O/S: The Power of Open, Collaborative, and Distributed Government (Washington, DC: Brookings Institution Press, 2017), by Stephen Goldsmith and Neil Kleiman, that proposes, in the editors’ interpretation, that cities should act more like Amazon in dealing with their citizens. |
Author Note | The female author is Professor of Human Geography at University College London. Her first degree is in Architecture from the University of Delhi, followed by an MPhil in Environmental Design from the University of Canterbury, and a PhD in Environmental Design and Planning from Arizona State University. |
