How do we imagine the city? How do we represent the urban? How do we eat, move or shop? What are the lifestyle models we have chosen? How are digital platforms being introduced in all of them? All these questions will focus our understanding of our everyday urban life and the possible scenarios in tomorrow’s on-demand city. We invite conceptual and empirical papers that explore the main changes in everyday urban life by mapping cultural tastes and social practices in the digital era, focusing mainly on how digital platforms are used for certain daily activities that are a feature of urban life, how they are expressed and the novelties they feature. The overall goal this session proposal is to share theoretical and empirical approaches that focus on how ‘online platforms’ have affected, transformed and impacted urban consumption, lifestyles, leisure and work culture in Southern European cities.

All abstracts should be submitted here, until May 30, 2023.
