Digital Technologies for Sustainable Futures

Chiara Certomà is an assistant professor of Political-Economic Geography at the University of Turin, Italy. She also serves as a research fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies on Science, Technology, and Society (STS) in Graz, at Ghent University, and at the Earth System Governance Research Network at Utrecht University. Her interests include innovative modes of urban governance and planning in response to environmental challenges and the digital turn. Fabio Iapaolo is a research fellow at Oxford Brookes University's Centre for AI, Culture, and Society, UK. He holds a PhD in Urban and Regional Development from the Polytechnic University of Turin, Italy, and spent a year with the Critical AI Studies (KIM) group at Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design. His work bridges spatial, political, and computer science perspectives to address topics such as algorithmic inequalities, the materiality of computation, and the politics of automation. Federico Martellozzo is an associate professor of Economic Geography and GIS at the University of Florence, Italy. After earning his PhD in Political and Economic Geography from the University of Trieste in 2010, he served as a postdoctoral fellow at McGill University's Land Use and Global Environment (LUGE) lab in Canada. His research examines the adverse effects of land development and resource consumption patterns amid global environmental changes.
