About the Book

EPDF and EPUB available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. Drawing on the study of different cities in the Global South, this book explores how the intensive use of data changes politics, power relations, and everyday life in contemporary cities. Across the volume, expert contributors show how urban actors, from the state to activists, are increasingly using data as a resource to empower their actions and support their claims, while also demonstrating how times of crisis are moments when the power of data is made visible. Focusing on the different dimensions of data power and politics in the urban realm, this is an important contribution to our understanding of how datafication transforms the places in which we live and how we experience them.

Review :
“A timely reflection on data power and resistance thanks to an impressive sequence of chapters by scholars of urban studies, digital geography, and computational culture. The political potential of urban data is thoroughly explored within theoretical frameworks of urban studies and critical geography.” Paolo Cardullo, IN3 Universitat Oberta de Catalunya “This timely collection exposes the interplay between data, power, and the urban fabric extending the gaze well beyond the West. It is essential reading for understanding our urban future amidst datafication.” Stefania Milan, University of Amsterdam and European University Institute
