The Data Politics of Housing, Property and Planning
Description
Available open access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence.
This groundbreaking book is the first to put housing, property and planning data at the centre of critical analysis. While such data shape key decisions about housing and urban development, little attention has been paid to the politics and praxes of their production and use.
Bringing together international and interdisciplinary perspectives, the book examines how governments, real estate and PropTech industries, and civil society actors create, process, share and use housing, planning and property data. Covering themes from tokenized real estate to tenant data activism, it offers a vital reflection on data power and justice in contemporary urban governance.
