Cities and Digital Platforms unravels the transformative impact of digital platforms such as Airbnb and Zoom on urban landscapes, illustrating their profound influence on housing, city planning, and the broader economic fabric.Through rigorous case studies from cities such as Amsterdam, Auckland, Sydney, and Singapore, this book delves into the operational dynamics of these platforms as part of the broader “Cybernetic Capital Cycle”, a concept developed by the author to describe the nuanced interplay between digital innovations and capitalist cycles. This thorough analysis examines the dual roles of digital platforms as both disruptors and catalysts for urban transformation. It confronts the challenges of spatial inequality and probes the potential of digital solutions in fostering equitable urban development.This book is an essential read for policymakers, urban planners, and anyone intrigued by the intersection of technology, economy, and urban life, providing critical insights into the evolving dynamics of our cities in the digital age.

This edited volume challenges the hegemonic ideologies that underpin contemporary planning thought and practice, building on and extending the pioneering work of Michael Gunder. Through the lens of fantasy—particularly as theorised in Lacanian psychoanalysis—contributors interrogate how planners’ desires, decisions, and subjectivities are shaped by ideological narratives that sustain dominant neoliberal structures. The book includes Michael Gunder’s influential work on ideological fantasy, alongside eleven original chapters that collectively deconstruct, traverse, and reimagine ideological constructs in planning.The volume is organised into three thematic sections. The first section critically deconstructs capitalist ideological fantasies embedded in planning education, urban imaginaries, participatory governance, and neoliberal policy discourses. The second section explores how fantasies operate within environmental governance, housing activism (such as YIMBYism), flat ontologies, and community strategies, while also identifying possibilities for alternative discourses. The final section presents counter-hegemonic perspectives from non-Western contexts, including critiques of China’s Territorial Spatial Planning and Iranian philosophical traditions of truth-telling as ethical governance.Contributors include established and emerging scholars from diverse global contexts, offering interdisciplinary insights for researchers and practitioners in planning, geography, sociology, philosophy, and political studies. This collection stands as both a scholarly tribute to Gunder’s intellectual legacy and a call for critical, transformative planning for futures.

The Inner World of Artificial Intelligence, edited by Elham Bahmanteymouri, Mohsen Mohammadzadeh, and Fabio Morreale, offers a critical and interdisciplinary exploration of how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the contemporary world. Bringing together leading and emerging scholars from planning, engineering, economics, philosophy, computer science, and media studies, the book examines the hidden infrastructures, political economies, and spatial imaginaries that underpin AI. It invites readers to look beyond technical narratives, uncovering how AI operates as both a transformative technology and a socio-political force.Structured around three interconnected sections – Hidden and Subsumed Humans in Artificial Intelligence, Political Economies and Fantasies of AI, and AI, Urban Knowledge, and the Repressed Real – the volume explores how AI functions simultaneously as technology, ideology, and social relation. Contributors reveal how intelligent systems mediate labour, governance, and everyday life, exposing both the promises and contradictions of automation and digitalisation. The book also analyses AI’s entanglements with global urbanisation, environmental change, and shifting power relations across regions, including the Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Americas.Offering a critical yet accessible perspective, The Inner World of Artificial Intelligence serves as an invaluable reference for academics, professionals, and policymakers interested in understanding AI’s technical, social, spatial, and ethical implications. It will appeal to readers in planning, economics, political science, engineering, and the social sciences who seek to navigate and shape the complex human–AI relationship in an age of accelerating technological transformation.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND)] 4.0 license.
