The widespread adoption of smartphones has led to an explosion of
mobile social media data, more than a billion messages per day that
continuously track location, content, and time. Social Media in the
Contemporary City focuses on the effects of social media on local
communities and urban space in a variety of political and economic
settings related to social activism, informal economic activity,
public art, and global extremism. The book covers events ranging
from Banksy art installations, mobile food trucks, and underground
restaurants, to a Black Lives Matter protest, the Christchurch
mosque shootings, and the Pulse nightclub shooting. The interplay
between urban space, local community, and social media in each case
study requires diverse methodologies that are both computational
(i.e. machine learning, social network analysis, and natural
language processing) and ethnographic (i.e. semi-structured
interviews, thematic analysis, and site analysis). The book views
social media not as a replacement for the local community or urban
space but rather as a translation of the uses and meanings of all
three realms. The book will be of interest to students,
researchers, and instructors in a number of disciplines including
urban design/planning, media studies, geography, and
communications.
