Beschreibung: What’s up? Check Instagram. Need urgently some groceries? Order via Gorillas. Want to swing by your friend? Hop on a Tier scooter. Fancy a meal in the evening? Lieferando will deliver. Looking for the closest bus stop? Google maps will guide you. Definitely need those new sneakers? Just click on Amazon. Need a ride home after the party? Call an Uber. Any chance for a romantic encounter tonight? Browse through Tinder. Plan a holiday abroad? Check out Airbnb. And so on. Over the most recent past, these digital platforms have evolved from singular match-makers between customers and suppliers into ever more complex digital ecologies that reorder urban life in two fundamental ways. On the one hand, these platform ecologies provide the digital backbone for the circulation of people, things and data and increasingly assume the character of urban infrastructures: they are embedded, taken-for-granted, and only become visible when failing. On the other hand, digital platforms transform urban governance from rule- and regulation-based administration and planning into unilateral control by algorithms and data-streams. This seminar will explore key dimensions of the emerging platform urbanism. (1) Platform Urbanism: Just Smart City Re-loaded? (2) Sensing: Making the City Visible and Actionable. (3) Circulation: Governing the Flows of People, Things and Data. (4) Prediction: The City as Calculative Machine. (5) Beyond Uber: Civic Hacking and Urban Occupation.
