It draws international comparisons between urban platforms across sites, with attention to the leading edges of theory and practice and explores the potential for a renewal of civic life, engagement, and participatory governance through “platform cooperativism” and related movements. A breadth of tangible and diverse examples of platform urbanism provides critical insights to scholars examining the interface of digital technologies and urban infrastructure, urban governance, urban knowledge production, and everyday urban life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book will be invaluable on a range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses, as well as for academics and researchers in these fields, including anthropology, geography, innovation studies, politics, public policy, science and technology studies, sociology, sustainable development, urban planning, and urban studies. It will also appeal to an engaged, academia-adjacent readership, including city and regional planners, policymakers, and third-sector researchers in the realms of citizen engagement, industrial strategy, regeneration, sustainable development, and transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMike Hodson\u003c\/strong\u003e is senior research fellow in the Sustainable Consumption Institute, Alliance Manchester Business School, University of Manchester and a member of the Manchester Urban Institute, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJulia Kasmire\u003c\/strong\u003e researches and teaches on how to use new forms of data for social scientists with the UK Data Service and the Cathie Marsh Institute at the University of Manchester, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAndrew McMeekin\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Innovation at the Alliance Manchester Business School and the Sustainable Consumption Institute (SCI), UK. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohn G.
