Data Justice and the Right to the City engages with theories of social justice and data-driven urbanism. It explores the intersecting concerns of data justice
both the harms and civic possibilities of the datafied society
and the right to the city
a call to redress the uneven distribution of resources and rights in urban contexts.The book addresses these concerns through a variety of topics, including digital social services, as cities use data and automated systems to administer to citizens; education, as data-driven practices transform learning and higher education; labour, as platforms create new precarities and risks for workers; and activists and artists who seek to make creative and political interventions. They propose frameworks for understanding how data-driven technologies affect citizens’ rights at the municipal scale and offer strategies for intervention by both scholars and citizens.
