This book reflects on what it means to live as urban citizens in a
world increasingly shaped by the business and organisational logics
of digital platforms. Where smart city strategies promote the
roll-out of internet of things (IoT) technologies and big data
analytics by city governments worldwide, platform urbanism responds
to the deep and pervasive entanglements that exist between urban
citizens, city services and platform ecosystems today. Recent years
have witnessed a backlash against major global platforms, evidenced
by burgeoning literatures on platform capitalism, the platform
society, platform surveillance and platform governance, as well as
regulatory attention towards the market power of platforms in their
dominance of global data infrastructure. This book responds to
these developments and asks: How do platform ecosystems reshape
connected cities? How do urban researchers and policy makers
respond to the logics of platform ecosystems and platform
intermediation? What sorts of multisensory urban engagements are
rendered through platform interfaces and modalities? And what sorts
of governance challenges and responses are needed to cultivate and
champion the digital public spaces of our connected lives.
