Description

Cities and Digital Platforms unravels the transformative impact of digital platforms such as Airbnb and Zoom on urban landscapes, illustrating their profound influence on housing, city planning, and the broader economic fabric. Through rigorous case studies from cities such as Amsterdam, Auckland, Sydney, and Singapore, this book delves into the operational dynamics of these platforms as part of the broader “Cybernetic Capital Cycle”, a concept developed by the author to describe the nuanced interplay between digital innovations and capitalist cycles. This thorough analysis examines the dual roles of digital platforms as both disruptors and catalysts for urban transformation. It confronts the challenges of spatial inequality and probes the potential of digital solutions in fostering equitable urban development. This book is an essential read for policymakers, urban planners, and anyone intrigued by the intersection of technology, economy, and urban life, providing critical insights into the evolving dynamics of our cities in the digital age.
