The spike in remote work due to COVID-19 pandem ic is temporary\, but it highlights an underlying trend. Remote work at ho me and in “third” places such as cafes\, hotels\, and airports has bee n enabled by access to wireless networks and mobile cloud computing collab oration software. Such a spatial and temporal fragmentation of related wor k activities is not available to everyone\, but it affects an increasing f raction of the population. It features prominently in popular images of th e future of work. This presentation examines how the relationship between space\, technology\, and the workplace has developed over time\, how power relations embedded in these overlapping physical and cyberspaces constrai n our behavior\, and what novel ethical and equity concerns arise in the e merging smart city. It relies on original interview and observation data f rom the New York (USA) metropolitan area augmented by national statistics. Findings include identification of multiple points where control of overl apping physical and cyberspaces either enables or prevents the fragmentati on of work activities. These carry important implications for those who wo rk in the smart city and those who design it.\n\nFor more information\, pl ease visit the [SSIT website](https://technologyandsociety.org/event/ieee- ssit-distinguished-lecture-working-in-the-smart-city/)\n\nCo-sponsored by: IEEE Santa Clara Valley SSIT Chapter\, IEEE Washington DC/Northern Virgin ia/Baltimore SSIT Chapter\, IEEE Pittsburgh SSIT Chapter\, SSIT IST-Africa SIGHT\n\nSpeaker(s): Prof Clint Andrews\, \n\nAgenda: \n1:00 - 1:40pm (ES T) / 6pm - 6:40pm (UTC) Introduction and Presentation\n1:40 - 2:00pm (EST) / 6:40pm - 7pm (UTC) Discussion\, Q&A\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.i eee.org/m/260688 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/260688 ORGANIZER:miriam@iimg.com SEQUENCE:14 SUMMARY:Working in the Smart City (SSIT Distinguished Lecture) URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/260688 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><a href="https://www.ieee-ukandireland.org /chapters/society-on-social-implications-of-technology/" target="_blank" r el="noopener">IEEE UK and Ireland SSIT Chapter\,&nbsp\;</a>Santa Clara Val ley SSIT Chapter\,&nbsp\;Washington DC/Northern Virginia/Baltimore SSIT Ch apter\,&nbsp\;Pittsburgh SSIT Chapter and&nbsp\;SSIT&nbsp\;IST-Africa&nbsp \;SIGHT are cooperating to organise this <a href="https://technologyandsoc iety.org/event/ieee-ssit-distinguished-lecture-working-in-the-smart-city/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SSIT Distinguished Lecture</a> (DL) as a j oint Chapter Webinar.
