Over the past decade, platform capitalism has profoundly reshaped the organisation of labour, the infrastructures of urban life, and the conditions of social reproduction. These processes are deeply gendered, racialised and spatialised, mediated by regimes of migration and borders as much as by neoliberal urban governance. At the same time, workers, unions, cooperatives and grassroots collectives are developing innovative practices of organisation, resistance and solidarity, opening up transnational dialogues and experimenting with new forms of trade unionism, everyday cooperation, and infrastructures of care.
The International Conference ‘Cartographies of Platform Labour in the Digital City’ aims to provide a space of critical reflection on these transformations. The event will explore how platform labour is embedded in broader urban, social and political dynamics, and will map the intersections of precarity, migration, gender and urban inequality in the age of digital capitalism.
