Computational models of urbanism—smart cities that use data-driven planning and algorithmic administration—promise to deliver new urban efficiencies and conveniences. Yet these models limit our understanding of what we can know about a city. A City Is Not a Computer: Other Urban Intelligences (Princeton UP, 2021) reveals how cities encompass myriad forms of local and indigenous intelligences and knowledge institutions, arguing that these resources are a vital supplement and corrective to increasingly prevalent algorithmic models. Shannon Mattern begins by examining the ethical and ontological implications of urban technologies and computational models, discussing how they shape and in many cases profoundly limit our engagement with cities. She looks at the methods and underlying assumptions of data-driven urbanism, and demonstrates how the “city-as-computer” metaphor, which undergirds much of today's urban policy and design, reduces place-based knowledge to information processing. Mattern then imagines how we might sustain institutions and infrastructures that constitute more diverse, open, inclusive urban forms. She shows how the public library functions as a steward of urban intelligence, and describes the scales of upkeep needed to sustain a city's many moving parts, from spinning hard drives to bridge repairs. Incorporating insights from urban studies, data science, and media and information studies, A City Is Not a Computer offers a visionary new approach to urban planning and design. Shannon Mattern is professor of anthropology at the New School for Social Research. Her books include Code and Clay, Data and Dirt: Five Thousand Years of Urban Media and The New Downtown Library: Designing with Communities. She lives in New York City.

Send us a textMissed opportunities can lead to some of the best stories, especially when they're shared with good friends and a sense of humor. When a planned trip to the AAA Baseball Championship fell through, our conversation turned to hilarious skiing mishaps and the rollercoaster of emotions felt by Arizona baseball fans as their season wrapped up. Joined by our special guests Paul Caputo of Baseball by Design and Eric Profitt of the Earned Fun Average podcast, we navigated our way through the chaos of baseball playoffs. Our Las Vegas adventure didn't go as planned, with flight mishaps keeping some of us from the ballpark, but the unexpected twists made for unforgettable stories. From blackjack tables at Excalibur to hockey games at T-Mobile Arena, the spirit of friendship shone through. We savored nachos, cheered on ice hockey teams, and enjoyed arena giveaways. Val's knack for VIP setups ensured memorable encounters at minor league games, turning a night with the Omaha Storm Chasers into a whirlwind of fun, food, and even a winning bet.As the tales unfolded, we pondered the journey from Triple-A to the majors, questioned if it's truly an upgrade, especially within the Oakland A's organization, and marveled at the treats from Saint Honoré. With future plans on the horizon, it's clear that sports adventures and podcasting camaraderie are the winning combination. Tune in to hear about our Urban Media plans, anticipated trips, and the joy of catching up with old friends over shared laughs and countless stories.

With new legal representation from Belfast firm Phoenix Law for the Stardust families, Attorney General Seamus Woulfe finally announces in 2020 that new inquests should take place. The new hearing finally gets underway in April, 2023, sitting for 122 days over the course of 12 months. The jury would finally deliver an historic unlawful killing verdict on behalf of the Stardust families, ruling that an electrical fault in the hot press caused the blaze. After 43 years, the Irish Government finally issues a State apology to the long-suffering families.The Stardust Tragedy is brought to you by the Irish Sun. The series is produced by Urban Media. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Families spend years fighting for a new inquiry into the disaster but at every turn they hit a brick wall. Finally, something goes their way when the Coffey Report rules out arson at the cause but stops short of ordering a new inquiry, as does the McCartan Report in 2017. But their campaign continues with support from Sinn Fein MEP Lynn Boylan and a trip to the European Parliament for some families as momentum gathers for new inquests.The Stardust Tragedy is brought to you by the Irish Sun. The series is produced by Urban Media. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Offered no counselling or support in the years that followed, survivors and families do what they can to try and cope with the devastating effects of the Stardust. Suicides, depression and addiction grips the community and many who were close to the tragedy. And then a compensation tribunal is set up, which compounds the pain for the families of the 48 dead. The Stardust Victims Committee is set up and loved ones vow that they won't rest until they see justice.The Stardust Tragedy is brought to you by the Irish Sun. The series is produced by Urban Media.

The Stardust families bury their dead amid heart-breaking scenes, while Taoiseach Charles Haughey appoints eminent judge Ronan Keane to chair a tribunal into the disaster. A rushed inquest wouldn't look at the cause of the fire and would declare a verdict in line with the medical evidence. And then the Keane Report in June 1982 would rule that one of the patrons inside the Stardust was responsible for the blaze without any evidence and the distraught families are plunged into a new world of despair.The Stardust Tragedy is brought to you by the Irish Sun. The series is produced by the Urban Media. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The reality of the tragedy hits home as families surround loved ones in hospitals, while heartbroken mothers and fathers gather at the city morgue as tragic victims start to be identified using dental records and items of jewellery.The authorities conduct a heartless identification process, which they want to end on Sunday evening, February 15, but extend it until 5.30pm on Tuesday. Five of the 44 confirmed dead wouldn't be identified by this deadline and would remain unidentified for 26 years. Four more would die in hospital in the days and weeks that followed.

This episode we have a single longform interview with a media scholar of note–The New School's Shannon Mattern. We have teamed up with Mediapolis, a journal that places urban studies and media studies into conversation with one another, to interview Mattern about her new book, Code and Clay, Data and Dirt: Five Thousand Years of Urban Media (U of Minnesota Press: 2018). And lucky for us on Phantom Power, a large portion of Mattern's story is about sound, from the echoes of ancient caves to Roman amphitheaters to telephone wires and radio towers—she shows us how sonic infrastructures allow us to communicate and form communities, cultivating forms of intelligence that are embodied and affective, as well as informatic. Before there was the smart city, there was the sonic city—and the sonic city isn't going anywhere soon. Some topics discussed: Patrick Feaster and First Sounds; Neil Postman; Harold Innis; Marshall McLuhan; John Durham Peters' The Marvelous Clouds; Carolyn Birdsall's Nazi Soundscapes.

The Stardust Tragedy begins its story in North Dublin which goes from farmland to urban sprawl in the 60s and 70s as thousands of young families become the first to settle in brand new housing estates. As they grow, music is an escape for the working class teens and the concert halls and nightclubs become their weekends. On February 13, 1981, hordes of excited young people get ready to attend a St Valentine's night ball in Artane's popular Stardust club.The Stardust Tragedy is brought to you by the Irish Sun.

If you've ridden public transport over a number of years, you might think printed material is declining. You may have once been surrounded by people immersed in newspapers and books, but more and more people seem to be cradling smart phones, tablets or laptops. Playing video games, watching downloaded on-demand programmes, listening to music, using their camera as a mirror, or catching up on work. But if you look a little harder, you will see the material traces of an enduring print urbanism: a panoply of banal or ambient texts such as signage, labels and messages; some people still carrying on reading books, magazines or commuter papers; and as for the others, using digital devices to read online news or an ebook, are they not undertaking a practice intimately connected with urban print culture? Even the act of riding public transport itself depends on a huge amount of published and printed information informing the operators, bureaucracy and expertise running the system. The relationships of print and the city run deep. In this episode, we take a long view, exploring how these relationships of print and the city can highlight the most elemental features of mediated urbanism today. Thinkers discussed: Shannon Mattern (Code + Clay … Data + Dirt: Five Thousand Years of Urban Media); Marshall McLuhan (The Gutenberg Galaxy: The Making of Typographic Man); Mario Carpo (Architecture in the Age of Printing: Orality, Writing, Typography, and Printed Images in the History of Architectural Theory); Aurora Wallace (Media Capital: Architecture and Communications in New York City); Benedict Anderson (Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism); David Henkin (City Reading: Written Words and Public Spaces in Antebellum New York); John Nerone (The Mythology of the Penny Press); James Carey (The Telegraph and Ideology); Carole O'Reilly (Journalism and the Changing Act of Observation: Writing about Cities in the British press 1880–1940); Scott Rodgers (The Architectures of Media Power: Editing, the Newsroom, and Urban Public Space); Walter Bagehot (Charles Dickens); Peter Fritzsche (Reading Berlin 1900); Rolf Linder (The Reportage of Urban Culture: Robert Park and the Chicago School); Robert Park (The Natural History of the Newspaper); Ursula Rao (News as Culture: Journalistic Practices and the Remaking of Indian Leadership Traditions); Jennifer Robinson (Ordinary Cities: Between Modernity and Development); Lev Manovich (The Language of New Media); Scott Rodgers (Digitizing Localism: Anticipating, Assembling and Animating a ‘Space' for UK Hyperlocal Media Production).

When you move through the city, you move through mediation. This is because what we call media and what we call the city (or the urban) are in a nexus: they are intimately connected. On the one hand, the practices, the rhythms and the motilities of urban living compel certain uses, exposures and desires in relation to media technologies, forms and industries. On the other hand, these media forms, infrastructures, and industries inhabit – and are increasingly ‘built-into' – urban environments. Many might quite reasonably point out that media represent the city and urban life, in film, television, literature, news, video games and apps. In this opening episode, however, we introduce a focus on the city itself is a mediating environment. We begin to think how, through the urban we can find new ways to think about media, and how, through media, we can find new ways to think about the city. The aim here is modest. Rather than presenting a general framework for understanding the mediated city in the past, now and forever more, we start with four points of reference. These will loosely guide how we'll think about the mediated city in the episodes to come: surfaces, depths, fragments and publics.

Thinkers discussed: Simon Wreckert (Google Maps Hacks); Scott McQuire (An Archaeology of the Media City: Towards a Critical Cultural History of Mediated Urbanism); Shannon Mattern (Deep Mapping the Media City / Code + Clay … Data + Dirt: Five Thousand Years of Urban Media); David Henkin (City Reading: Written Words and Public Spaces in Antebellum New York); Iain Borden (Hoardings); Marshall McLuhan (Understanding Media: The Extension of Man); Friedrich Kittler (The City is a Medium); Georg Simmel (The Metropolis and Mental Life); Erving Goffman (Behavior in Public Places: Notes on the Social Organization of Gatherings); William Mitchell (E-topia: "Urban Life Jim - But Not as We Know It”) Eric Gordon and Adriana de Souza e Silva ( Net Locality: Why Location Matters in a Networked World); Kurt Iveson (Publics and the City); Michael Warner (Publics and Counterpublics) Music: ‘The Mediated City Theme' by Scott Rodgers (https://soundcloud.com/rodgers_scott/the-mediated-city-theme).

Computational models of urbanism—smart cities that use data-driven planning and algorithmic administration—promise to deliver new urban efficiencies and conveniences. Yet these models limit our understanding of what we can know about a city. A City Is Not a Computer: Other Urban Intelligences (Princeton UP, 2021) reveals how cities encompass myriad forms of local and indigenous intelligences and knowledge institutions, arguing that these resources are a vital supplement and corrective to increasingly prevalent algorithmic models. Shannon Mattern begins by examining the ethical and ontological implications of urban technologies and computational models, discussing how they shape and in many cases profoundly limit our engagement with cities. She looks at the methods and underlying assumptions of data-driven urbanism, and demonstrates how the “city-as-computer” metaphor, which undergirds much of today's urban policy and design, reduces place-based knowledge to information processing. Mattern then imagines how we might sustain institutions and infrastructures that constitute more diverse, open, inclusive urban forms. She shows how the public library functions as a steward of urban intelligence, and describes the scales of upkeep needed to sustain a city's many moving parts, from spinning hard drives to bridge repairs. Incorporating insights from urban studies, data science, and media and information studies, A City Is Not a Computer offers a visionary new approach to urban planning and design. Shannon Mattern is professor of anthropology at the New School for Social Research. Her books include Code and Clay, Data and Dirt: Five Thousand Years of Urban Media and The New Downtown Library: Designing with Communities. She lives in New York City.

Interview with Elton Boocock Elton Boocock is the founder and Managing Director of two companies in different sectors, proving that good business skills are transferrable and experiences learnt in one business, can only but help the other to succeed. Having started his first business (Urban Media) aged 24, a lot of what he now takes for granted, has come through learning at the coal face. During the last recession he established with the help of other local business owners, the Wycombe Business Expo in a bid to help struggling small local companies. He was chosen to help Dragons Den's Peter Jones select the pilot group of new entrepreneurs for the National Enterprise Academy, has won various awards and is a regular on BBC Three Counties Business and Finance show. With a list of business successes to his name, he insists that it is the failures and mistakes that have made him the business person he is today. Elton's original company is the one he is still at the helm of and is a digital marketing agency. Given that he started the business before anyone had heard of Google, he has seen many changes. He also runs a ‘software as a service' business whereby installation companies use his software to run their entire business.

This week we're joined by Shannon Mattern, Associate Professor of Media Studies at the New School in New York City. Shannon discusses her new book Code+Clay ... Data+Dirt: 5,000 Years of Urban Media. We talk about how she came up with the idea to teach a class on the intersection of media studies, architecture, and cities, her favorite research, and how the perfect future interface humans are looking for does not exist. There's also a discussion about mapping and how digital mapping can leave out aspects of space that should be considered.
