Intermediaries play crucial roles in the implementation and functioning of the state in the transition towards digital governance. As a restructuring of networks, information flows, and territories – the digitalizing state implies the transition towards the digitalized interaction between the state and its residents, signaling a potential shift in the position of intermediaries in this process. Drawing on interviews with brokers and key informants in land administration and ethnographic observations in Nairobi, Guadalajara, and Mumbai, we explore the interplay between digital technologies, paper-based systems, typists, consultants, and citizens in the digitalizing state. This urges us to consider how digitalization, in many ways, goes against the novelty and excitement ascribed to the dynamics of modernizing and digitizing state governance. Paying attention to the geographies of information flows shows how digitalization unfolds in both the offices of the state as well as in subsidiary, hybrid spaces and through acts of brokerage. We argue that the paper-filled offices of the print shops and cybercafés are the sites where a potentially different range of alternative digital futures are exposed. Outside of the tropes of control, seamless connection, or the globalizing effect of digital technologies, these spaces give insight into the deeply institutionalized cultures and ways of organizing civil and political life in which digital technologies are introduced.

(Retail) platform legitimation through municipal partnerships?

Digital Geography and Society

Pub Date : 2025-01-06 DOI: 10.1016/j.diggeo.2024.100111

Sina Hardaker , Alexandra Appel

Collaborations between digital platforms and governments are increasingly common, and understanding these partnerships is essential for grasping how platforms navigate and influence urban governance and market boundaries. This paper examines the legitimation processes involved in such collaborations, focusing on the eBay Deine Stadt initiative as a case study. This initiative, led by eBay, helps municipalities launch local online marketplaces, facilitating the digital transition for struggling brick-and-mortar retailers. Drawing on qualitative expert interviews with municipal stakeholders and a quantitative survey of retailers listed on the eBay Deine Stadt platform, this study offers several key contributions: Overall, it reveals the mixed outcomes of the eBay Deine Stadt initiative, adding to the discussion on platform legitimation in response to traditional retail decline. The study demonstrates the role of municipalities and government institutions in shaping the narrative of platforms as urban problem-solvers and highlights the absence of strategic planning by municipalities in their collaborations with digital platforms, noting that some urban actors promote a positive local perception, thereby potentially legitimizing increasing platformization. The study identifies institutional work as central to this legitimation process, highlighting a clear shift towards general validation.

The profound impacts of climate change have spurred global concerns. Yet, public perceptions of this issue exhibit significant variations rooted in local contexts. This study investigates public perceptions of climate change in Alaska on Twitter and explores their connections with local socioeconomic and environmental factors. Using geo-located tweets from 2014 to 2017, we identified a collection of climate-related tweets using a deep learning framework. Employing lexicon-based sentiment analysis, we quantified the sentiments with positive and negative scores, further enriched by extracting eight core emotions expressed in each tweet. Furthermore, we applied regression models to assess the influence of regional socioeconomic and environmental attributes on climate-related sentiments at the census tract level. Our findings reveal an overall upward trajectory of Alaska's Twitter-expressed climate change sentiments over time, particularly during the summer months. Insights into the interplay between local demographics and environmental features and climate change perceptions include: (1) Census tracts with higher Native Alaskan or American Indian populations tend to express more negative sentiments, (2) the inclusion of road density stands out as a significant factor, suggesting that climate change is seen/discussed more in areas with more dense-built infrastructure, and (3) the presence of mixed emotions exhibits a profound connection with climate change sentiments—i.e., emotions of disgust and surprise are inversely related, whereas sadness and trust demonstrate positive associations. These outcomes underscore an evolving situation awareness of climate change among individuals, emphasizing the need to consider local factors in understanding public perceptions of this global issue.

Synthetic geospatial data and fake geography: A case study on the implications of AI-derived data in a data-intensive society

Digital Geography and Society

Pub Date : 2024-12-04 DOI: 10.1016/j.diggeo.2024.100108

This paper presents a case study that aims to analyze and compare original and synthetic geospatial data at the intra-urban scale. The goal is to explore the potential implications of the spread of synthetic data in scenarios where geospatial data are essential for decoding socio-spatial changes and where Geo-visualization is pivotal for spatial decision support. The methodology is based on a) the production of a synthetic dataset and b) the evaluation of the spatial similarity with the original one. Specifically, we employ a synthetic data provider, namely Mostly.AI, alongside geospatial data related to Airbnb listings in Florence, Italy. Results show which criticalities are linked to AI-derived data compared to the original ones, highlighting crucial spatial similarities and dissimilarities. Finally, the work critically discusses the broader societal implications of the widespread online synthetic data platforms, exploring the impacts of such a technological (re)evolution in a data-intensive society.

Living off financialization and crises of social reproduction, digital platforms play an increasing role as mediators of urban everyday life, productions of space and labor. Hence, subverting hegemonic narratives of pervasive platformization and bringing relationalities behind such care-less digital infrastructures back into focus has become a central challenge for critical analyses. In our contribution, we focus on proprietary markets for food delivery and develop a counter-strategy less explored in recent work on these forms of platform urbanism. By gathering and repurposing publicly-available platform data through counter-cartographies, we explore the spatial differentiation of platformized delivery logistics, labor relations and restaurant virtualization. We ground the need for such an approach in a theoretical discussion of recent work on platform urbanism and contrast it with narrower political economy perspectives that conceptualize platforms as proprietary markets. By using web-scraped data and public listings for the food aggregator platform Lieferando for Hamburg and Halle (Germany), we focus on restaurants as participating nodes in the digital platform's marketplace. Instead of offering a single alternative counter-narrative and counter-strategy, the contribution proposes to develop a dual perspective on the subsumption of labor relations under platformization and to complement academic interest in labor protests with a deeper concern for the food-delivery market as a site of conflict, accumulation and anti-competitive market practices.

The urban-tech feedback loop: A surveillance and development data-walk in South Lake Union 城市-技术反馈回路：南湖联盟的监控与发展数据漫步

In this research article, we employed an autoethnographic data-walk methodology to explore the complex relationship between urban spaces and digital data collection, using the South Lake Union neighborhood as a case study. We examined how major technology companies like Amazon, Microsoft, and various property developers leverage the dual forces of urbanization and data gathering to shape urban environments in ways that serve their interests. Our key contribution lies in uncovering the power dynamics at play, where tech companies exert significant influence over urban planning and governance, reshaping cities into spaces designed for surveillance and commodification. In areas like South Lake Union, the redevelopment into numerous small storefronts enables the granular tracking of consumer behavior, turning everyday activities into data that fuels targeted advertising and capital accumulation. We identify two central insights. First, data-walks offer a way to “story” the influence of tech corporations on urban spaces from the perspective of everyday experiences. While digital data collection is integral to capital accumulation, the process is uneven and must be viewed from various angles—including from the perspective of everyday life—to fully understand the emerging inequalities. Second, we argue that the transformation of urban environments under tech capitalism exacerbates existing social and spatial inequalities while generating new ones. The commodified surveillance of daily activities and consumption not only drives data accumulation but also reshapes the physical and social fabric of the city. This work serves as an initial step in challenging these unequal processes of surveillance-driven urban development.

在这篇研究文章中，我们以南湖联合社区为案例，采用自述式数据漫步方法，探讨了城市空间与数字数据收集之间的复杂关系。我们研究了亚马逊、微软等大型科技公司和各种房地产开发商如何利用城市化和数据收集的双重力量，以符合其利益的方式塑造城市环境。我们的主要贡献在于揭示了其中的权力动态，即科技公司对城市规划和治理施加重大影响，将城市重塑为专为监控和商品化而设计的空间。在南湖联盟（South Lake Union）等地区，重建为众多小型店面后，可以对消费者行为进行细化跟踪，将日常活动转化为数据，为定向广告和资本积累提供动力。我们提出了两个核心观点。首先，数据漫步提供了一种从日常体验的角度 "讲述 "科技公司对城市空间影响的方式。虽然数字数据收集与资本积累密不可分，但这一过程是不均衡的，必须从不同角度--包括从日常生活的角度--来看待，才能充分理解新出现的不平等现象。其次，我们认为科技资本主义对城市环境的改造加剧了现有的社会和空间不平等，同时也产生了新的不平等。对日常活动和消费的商品化监控不仅推动了数据积累，还重塑了城市的物理和社会结构。这项工作是挑战这些由监控驱动的城市发展不平等进程的第一步。

This paper presents a deep and critical analysis of Singapore's new wave of state-built digital tools and services and how it connects to its larger smart urbanism project, also known as Smart Nation. The COVID-19 pandemic, and particularly Singapore's response, served as a real-world testing ground for smart urbanist strategies. In particular, we analysed the logic that emanates from these novel digital interventions, how they operate on the complex urban built environment and the population, and their effects on urban and citizenry morphologies. Next, we examined a series of state-led technological implementations that have emerged since the Covid-19 pandemic, providing digital solutions that assist citizens with the changing rhythms of everyday living, data-capturing sensors and gantries to aid authorities in contract tracing efforts and enforce vaccination differentiation measures, geospatial digital mapping of demographic data, in withal robotics for automated policing and cleaning activities; and the use of AI and automated data-driven tools in public health to improve service delivery and care to patients. While we are unable to exhaust every piece of technology for the purpose of this paper, these developments, along with their design thinking and operations, we argue, are helpful in revealing the contemporary conjectures of Singaporean digital urban idealism and the governing strategies of the state. By examining Singapore's response, this study aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse on smart urbanism, offering insights into how cities can leverage technology effectively while balancing technological innovation with privacy and public trust.

本文对新加坡新一轮国家建设的数字工具和服务进行了深入和批判性的分析，并介绍了这些工具和服务如何与其更广泛的智能城市项目（也称为 "智能国家"）相联系。COVID-19 大流行，尤其是新加坡的应对措施，成为了智慧城市战略的真实试验场。特别是，我们分析了这些新型数字干预措施的逻辑，它们如何作用于复杂的城市建筑环境和人口，以及它们对城市和市民形态的影响。接下来，我们研究了自 19 世纪科维德流感大流行以来出现的一系列由国家主导的技术实施方案，这些方案提供了数字解决方案，帮助市民掌握不断变化的日常生活节奏；提供了数据捕捉传感器和龙门架，以协助当局开展合同追踪工作并执行疫苗接种区分措施；提供了人口数据的地理空间数字地图；提供了用于自动警务和清洁活动的机器人技术；在公共卫生领域使用了人工智能和自动数据驱动工具，以改善为患者提供的服务和护理。虽然我们无法在本文中详尽介绍每一项技术，但我们认为，这些发展及其设计思维和运作有助于揭示新加坡数字城市理想主义的当代猜想和国家的治理策略。通过研究新加坡的应对措施，本研究旨在为正在进行的有关智能城市主义的讨论做出贡献，为城市如何有效利用技术，同时在技术创新与隐私和公众信任之间取得平衡提供见解。

Rent relations from landed property are increasingly being leveraged for experimentation with new forms of value capture via digital technologies. Inspired by platform corporations, real estate actors are constantly trialling innovations for deepening and extending residential rent extraction. This paper sheds light on these mounting experiments using the case of co-living, a real estate sector with a strong elective affinity to corporate capitalist technology. First, it documents attempts to optimise the rent-generating potential of real estate assets themselves via spatial surveillance and dynamic pricing. Second, it highlights efforts to establish forms of techno-economic enclosure beyond the limits of buildings via housing memberships and subscriptions. In so doing, the paper contributes to an emerging body of literature on the intersection between digital and residential rentierism.

人们越来越多地利用土地财产的租金关系，通过数字技术尝试新的价值获取形式。受平台公司的启发，房地产参与者不断尝试创新，以深化和扩展住宅租金的提取。共同生活是一个与企业资本主义技术有着强烈选择性亲和力的房地产行业，本文以共同生活为例，揭示了这些不断增加的实验。首先，本文记录了通过空间监控和动态定价来优化房地产资产本身创租潜力的尝试。其次，它强调了通过住房会员制和订阅制建立超越建筑物限制的技术经济封闭形式的努力。在此过程中，本文为有关数字与住宅租赁主义交叉的新兴文献做出了贡献。

Working in the comfort zone: Understanding coworking spaces as post-digital, post-work and post-tourist territory 在舒适区工作：了解作为后数字时代、后工作时代和后旅游时代领地的协同工作空间

Coworking spaces are contradictory places. Typically, they are constructed as connected, domestic-like places for hard work and as recreational, aestheticized destinations for individuals in search of work-life balance and opportunities for partial disconnection. This article contributes an immanent critique of coworking spaces through the overarching notion of “coworking space territoriality”. Our point of departure is the concept of post-digital territoriality, which captures how individuals and organizations in various ways try to counter the downsides of escalating digitalization and reclaim a sense of bounded place. To further elaborate the subversive potentials of coworking spaces, however, the “post-digital” is brought into dialogue with “post-work” and “post-tourist”; two other “post-” concepts that contain ideas and practices that characterize the contradictory nature of coworking spaces. At the intersection of all three facets of territoriality, we argue, the coworking space emerges as a spatially and socially bounded comfort zone. The suggested approach informs the ongoing conversation about the ambiguous role of coworking spaces in broader transformations of society, especially in terms of social inclusion and exclusion. The theoretical arguments are anchored in a substantial literature review as well as in first-hand empirical data from a “hot-desking ethnography” covering ten different coworking spaces in Oslo, Denver, and Palma de Mallorca.

协同工作空间是一个矛盾的地方。通常情况下，协同工作空间被构建成连接的、类似家庭的、适合辛勤工作的场所，同时也是休闲的、审美化的目的地，适合寻求工作与生活平衡和部分断开连接机会的个人。本文通过 "协同办公空间地域性 "这一总体概念，对协同办公空间进行了内在批判。我们的出发点是 "后数字化地域性 "这一概念，它捕捉到了个人和组织如何以各种方式试图对抗不断升级的数字化所带来的弊端，并重新找回一种有边界的地方感。然而，为了进一步阐述协同工作空间的颠覆性潜力，"后数字 "与 "后工作 "和 "后游客 "进行了对话；这两个 "后 "概念包含了协同工作空间矛盾性质的思想和实践。我们认为，在地域性的所有三个方面的交叉点上，协同工作空间作为一个空间和社会边界的舒适区出现了。所建议的方法为正在进行的关于协同工作空间在更广泛的社会变革（尤其是社会包容和排斥方面）中的模糊角色的对话提供了信息。理论论点以大量文献综述以及 "热办公人种学 "的第一手经验数据为基础，涵盖奥斯陆、丹佛和马略卡岛帕尔马的十个不同的协同工作空间。

The theoretical arguments are anchored in a substantial literature review as well as in first-hand empirical data from a “hot-desking ethnography” covering ten different coworking spaces in Oslo, Denver, and Palma de Mallorca.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100377,"journal":{"name":"Digital Geography and Society","volume":"7 ","pages":"Article 100103"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142539154","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
