citizen participation

(Smart) City and the (Open) Data. A critical approach to a platform-driven urban citizenship

This paper represents a first attempt to reconstruct a theoretical map of the relation between technology (digital media) and citizenship. We start from the reconstruction of the role of citizens in the smart city paradigm and then face the challenge that the so-called Big Techs move to the ideal of an engaged “smart community” by promoting an individual relationship between users/citizens and digital platforms.
