Description:
IN THE LAST TWO DECADES, AN INFORMATION REVOLUTION IN THE GLOBAL SOUTH HAS PROFOUNDLY SHAPED THE URBANISATION OF METROPOLITAN REGIONS.
Global and national initiatives to adopt smart technologies in local governments, with the claim that opportunities presented by digitalisation will resolve the challenges of urbanisation – are now literally automating regional futures. This session will present papers on the dynamics of digitalisation-as-urbanisation – the transition to automated planning processes in metropolitan regions, and its impacts on regional urbanisation.
