Abstract: \u00a0In this talk I present platform urbanisation as a key driver of contemporary urbanisation processes and a lens for re-grounding spatial analysis in the digital-urban age. Digital platforms – acting simultaneously as infrastructures, governance systems, and socio-political environments – reshape spatial, political, and experiential dimensions of urban life across a planetary scale. By linking material infrastructures, algorithmic governance, and everyday practices, platforms constitute a new techno-political arena in which power, participation, and rights \u2013 and everyday life – are continuously reconfigured.<\/p>\n

Drawing on ongoing research into e-commerce platforms, I examine the case of Singapore, where platform infrastructures extend as cross-border logistical assemblages while also generating new interstitial, semi-private spaces along the last mile. These developments illuminate how platformisation reorganises not only flows of goods and data but also forms of labour, visibility, and urban encounter.<\/p>\n

This talk highlights the political stakes of platform urbanisation, including democratic accountability, inclusion, new constituencies, and collective agency, and calls for a renewed analytical and normative approaches to digital platform practices capable of addressing the uneven, planetary realities of the digital-urban condition.<\/p>\n
