Zusammenfassung: The chapter critically examines platform urbanism and explores possible democratic interventions aimed at enhancing technical citizenship. The evolving concept of ‘platform urbanism’ highlights market-driven efficiencies within the smart cities discourse and the pervasive influence of corporate-owned infrastructures, applications and services that datafy, commodify and reshape interactions with urban spaces. Adopting a socio-technical perspective, the chapter interrogates current imaginaries of platform urbanism and proposes a reconceptualisation that foregrounds a citizen-informed, rights-based approach rooted in meaningful participation and empowerment. Integrating insights from media and communication studies, platform studies, urban geography, and the critical constructivism of technology, the chapter draws on ongoing research across Europe to reimagine platform urbanism through civic agency and rights assertionPPN: PPN: 1983986569Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-94-OAB
