Description
For English see below Platform Urbanism beschrijft de toenemende mate waarin baanbrekende technologie wordt toegepast in de stedelijke omgeving. Het gaat hierbij om veranderingen die niet alleen worden veroorzaakt door de technologie, maar ook door de interactie tussen technologische innovatie en sociale en culturele behoeften. Digitale platforms zoals Facebook, Uber, Airbnb en Amazon zijn niet alleen nieuwe soorten ondernemingen, maar staan ook voor een compleet nieuwe manier van leven – van de producten die door onze handen gaan en de diensten waar we dagelijks gebruik van maken tot de hele stadswijken die de komende jaren door grote platformbedrijven zoals Google zullen worden gebouwd. Deze veranderingen roepen belangrijke vragen op over de maatschappelijke mogelijkheden en risico’s van de architectuur van deze allesomvattende ecosystemen. >English< Platform Urbanism discusses the fundamental transformation of urban space through platform technologies. By reorganizing access to a wide spectrum of fundamental domains, such as education, housing, health care, or even political information, platforms are destined to become the most powerful players regulating the way we live in cities. Digital platforms such as Facebook, Uber, Airbnb and Amazon are not only new types of enterprises but also a completely new culture of life—from the products we handle and the services we use every day to entire urban neighbourhoods that will be built by major platform enterprises in the next few years. These multi-scalar changes raise significant questions about the social potentials and risks of the architecture of these all-encompassing ecosystems.
