This title takes the broadest possible scope to interrogate the
emergence of "platform urbanism", examining how it transforms urban
infrastructure, governance, knowledge production, and everyday
life, and brings together leading scholars and early-career
researchers from across five continents and multiple disciplines.
The volume advances theoretical debates at the leading edge of the
intersection between urbanism, governance, and the digital economy,
by drawing on a range of empirically detailed cases from which to
theorize the multiplicity of forms that platform urbanism takes. It
draws international comparisons between urban platforms across
sites, with attention to the leading edges of theory and practice
and explores the potential for a renewal of civic life, engagement,
and participatory governance through "platform cooperativism" and
related movements. A breadth of tangible and diverse examples of
platform urbanism provides critical insights to scholars examining
the interface of digital technologies and urban infrastructure,
urban governance, urban knowledge production, and everyday urban
life. The book will be invaluable on a range of undergraduate and
postgraduate courses, as well as for academics and researchers in
these fields, including anthropology, geography, innovation
studies, politics, public policy, science and technology studies,
sociology, sustainable development, urban planning, and urban
studies. It will also appeal to an engaged, academia-adjacent
readership, including city and regional planners, policymakers, and
third-sector researchers in the realms of citizen engagement,
industrial strategy, regeneration, sustainable development, and
transport.
