The spike in remote work due to COVID-19 pandemic is tempor ary\, but it highlights an underlying trend. Remote work at home and in “third” places such as cafes\, hotels\, and airports has been enabled by access to wireless networks and mobile cloud computing collaboration so ftware. Such a spatial and temporal fragmentation of related work activiti es is not available to everyone\, but it affects an increasing fraction of the population. It features prominently in popular images of the future o f work. This presentation examines how the relationship between space\, te chnology\, and the workplace has developed over time\, how power relations embedded in these overlapping physical and cyberspaces constrain our beha vior\, and what novel ethical and equity concerns arise in the emerging sm art city. It relies on original interview and observation data from the Ne w York (USA) metropolitan area augmented by national statistics. Findings include identification of multiple points where control of overlapping phy sical and cyberspaces either enables or prevents the fragmentation of work activities. These carry important implications for those who work in the smart city and those who design it.\n\nFor more information\, please visit the [SSIT website](https://technologyandsociety.org/event/ieee-ssit-disti nguished-lecture-working-in-the-smart-city/)\n\nSpeaker(s): Clinton Andrew s\, \n\nAgenda: \n1:00 - 1:40pm (EST) / 6pm - 6:40pm (UTC) Introduction an d Presentation\n1:40 - 2:00pm (EST) / 6:40pm - 7pm (UTC) Discussion\, Q&\n \nDublin\, Dublin\, Ireland\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/26 4356 LOCATION:Dublin\, Dublin\, Ireland\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.or g/m/264356 ORGANIZER:mimiktam@ieee.org SEQUENCE:0 SUMMARY:IEEE SSIT Distinguished Lecture: Working in the Smart City URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/264356 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><img src="https://events.vtools.ieee.org/e vent/picture/260688" /></p>\n<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\,</a>&nbsp\;Santa Clara Val ley SSIT Chapter\, Washington\, D/Northern Virginia/Baltimore SSIT Chapter \, Pittsburgh SSIT Chapter and a number of other SSIT Chapters are coopera ting to organise this SSIT Distinguished Lecture (DL) as a joint Chapter W ebinar.</p>\n<p>All IEEE and SSIT Members are invited to&nbsp\;<a href="ht tps://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/260688" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Regi ster</a>&nbsp\;and participate.
