This book tells the story of visionary urban experiments, and delves first into the eco-city, second the smart city and third the autonomous city, where existing smart technologies are evolving into artificial intelligences which are taking the management of the city out of the hands of humans. It is both an examination of the evolution of urban experimentation through the lens of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and a warning. Academics, students and practitioners will find in this book the knowledge that is necessary to comprehend and engage with the many urban experiments that are now alive, ready to leave the laboratory and enter our cities
