Cities and Digital Platforms
Autor Elham Bahmanteymourien Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 apr 2025
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.

Recenzii
"This thought-provoking book advances theoretical and practical understanding of complex interplays between digital platforms, economic crisis, and urban planning processes, highlighting the challenges posed to economic structures and societal norms. Two scenarios are developed: increasingly inequitable automation and commodification of daily activity, versus ethical decision-making and control of negative externalities. At a time when AI is progressively incorporated into our lived experience, Bahmanteymouri offers a valuable resource for discussion of these important questions."
Jean Hillier, Professor Emerita, Centre for Urban Research, RMIT University, Melbourne
"This analysis of cities and the digital platform economy is a timely and very stimulating scholarly contribution. Dr Bahmanteymouri offers a novel perspective on tourism- and work-related digital platforms Airbnb, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams. Using a sophisticated theoretical lens and an array of international urban case studies, her work skillfully illustrates the transformative and disruptive influences of digital platforms on the urban economy, land use, and planning. Both scholars and urban managers will find the book useful as they interpret and respond to the new trends, patterns, and systems of spatial planning heralded by the ongoing development of the digital platform economy."
