As computing leaves the desktop and spills out onto the public spaces of the city, information processing becomes embedded in everyday urban space. Pervasive/ubiquitous computing evangelists herald a coming age of urban information systems capable of sensing and responding to the events transpiring around them. The Sentient City Survival Kit consists of a collection of artifacts, spaces and media for survival in the near-future sentient city.
