Sinossi

Urbanization economics explores why cities exist and how they drive economic growth, productivity, and wealth distribution. Cities concentrate populations, leading to agglomeration economies—benefits like knowledge spillovers, labor market pooling, and specialized services that boost productivity. The book, Urbanization Economics, investigates these dynamics, revealing that while urbanization fuels economic progress, it can also exacerbate income inequality. For example, a thriving tech sector might increase wages for skilled workers while leaving others behind, creating disparities.

 
The book argues that urbanization's benefits aren't automatically shared, necessitating targeted policies to mitigate negative consequences. Using quantitative data and case studies, the text examines the impact of urbanization on productivity, innovation, and economic growth, as well as its distributional effects, such as poverty and access to services. It connects to regional economics, development economics, and urban planning to offer a holistic view.

 
The book progresses from core concepts of urbanization to analyzing its effects on productivity and then to the distributional aspects of urbanization across chapters.

Digital Earth - Cyber threats...

Sarah Katz

Digital Earth – Cyber threats, privacy and ethics in an age of paranoia
Whether it's the next big ransomware attack or cyber terrorism, digital threats have evolved drastically in recent years. Issues surrounding phishing, misinformation, cyber terrorism, physical security, and privacy continue to arise for both individual users and large enterprises.
With technology an intrinsic part of our everyday lives, we need to be aware of digital threats, and be able to identify other threats such as phishing, ransomware, and spyware before they can wreak havoc in our professional or personal lives.
This book discusses the most prevalent technological threats that we face today. It is an accessible guide that highlights the most common cyber attacks, and explores data ethics and privacy in an age where we hold so much of our PII (personally identifiable information) online.
It covers cyber threats such as phishing, disinformation versus misinformation in a post-COVID-19 world, cyber terrorism, and the power of social media, and analyzes ever-evolving privacy concerns in response to technological advances. For example, does the use of drones by law enforcement offer us complete security or raise questions around the privacy of citizens?
The book focuses on:

- The spike in phishing amid the COVID-19 pandemic
- Cyber terrorism
- The risks associated with social media
- Whether drones are a search-and-rescue solution or the all-seeing eye in the sky
