Banks is the Director of Globalization Studies at the University at Albany, SUNY and the author of the forthcoming book The City Authentic: How the Attention Economy Builds Urban America published by University of California Press. He is also a delegate to the Troy Area Labor Council and the co-host of the podcast Ironweeds."All of the technologies necessary to solve a great deal of problems have already been done. The issue is having the political will to make them actually happen. Capital won't do that because it's more advantageous financially to have the problem continually move and then just kind of fix it here and then move it over there and then fix it over there and then move it back over here.”www.davidabanks.orgwww.e-flux.com/architecture/software/337954/where-do-you-live/ https://reallifemag.com/true-ish-grit/ www.reallifemag.com/new-haunts/ The attention economy of authentic cities https://doi.org/10.1080/09654313.2021.1882947https://ironweeds.podbean.com
