Modern cities are evolving into complex, data-driven ecosystems where digital intelligence and physical infrastructure increasingly operate as one interconnected organism. City of Algorithms presents a thoughtful exploration of how real-time data, smart systems, and algorithmic decision-making are reshaping urban life, sustainability, and human experience.

Using a Seattle-inspired lens, this book examines the concept of urban metabolism — the continuous flow of energy, resources, information, and human activity that sustains a city's functioning. It reveals how sensors, IoT networks, and intelligent platforms now monitor and regulate everything from transportation and energy consumption to waste management, environmental conditions, and public services.

Rather than viewing smart cities as purely technological constructs, the book frames them as living systems whose efficiency, resilience, and sustainability depend on the delicate balance between automation and human-centered design. Listeners are guided through the dynamics of real-time data ecosystems, adaptive infrastructure, and predictive analytics, while also confronting the social, ethical, and psychological implications of algorithmic governance.
