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.
