À propos de l'événement
The various bodies of work on digitalization as transformation paint starkly contrasting pictures of the potential impact of digitalisation on urban life: while the literature on smart cities sketches a digitally enhanced urban utopia, surveillance studies warn us against the dystopian dimension of digital technologies. What this dichotomous vision strongly suggests is that digitalisation often has ambiguous effects. This two-day workshop aims to capture and document the ambiguousness inherent in the digitalisation of urban governance, by assessing its actual, observable impact on local democracy in the Indian context.
