What is the relation between digital and environmental sustainability? How can data contribute to a more sustainable smart city? The series of audio papers 鈥溾 focuses on digital and environmental sustainability in the context of the smart city. Each audio paper of the series presents a different aspect of the sustainability theme: media and public space, communities, urban sustainability, the importance of care, while the last three papers deal with research methodology, a crucial aspect of digital sustainability.
