AB - Is a city a technology? This study begins with the hypothesis that interesting insights can be obtained by comparing studies on technology and those on the city. Although technology and the city cannot be identified directly, one can find fresh ideas from applying respective ideas to each other based on their commonalities and connections.
For example, various proposals and alternatives presented in urban studies regarding the future of the city lead to rethinking the subject of technological philosophy from a new perspective.
After examining definitions of technology and the city in Section 1, Section 2 lists the features commonly presented in the philosophy of technology and urban studies.
Section 3 reveals that even if one does not identify technologies and cities, there are reasons to compare the philosophy of technology and urban studies. Section 4 is a case study arguing Senet's idea of smart cities suggests a slightly different new path to the long-standing discussion in the philosophy of technology concerning pessimism, optimism, and control over the future of technology and technological society.
