The increasing platformization of urban life needs critical perspectives to examine changing
everyday practices and power shifts brought about by the expansion of digital platforms
mediating care-services housing and mobility. This book addresses new modes of producing
urban spaces and societies. It brings both platform researchers and activists from various
fields related to critical urban studies and labour activism into dialogue. The contributors
engage with the socio-spatial and normative implications of platform-mediated urban everyday
life and urban futures going beyond a rigid techno-dystopian stance in order to include an
understanding of platforms as sites of social creativity and exchange.
