Datafication and urban (in)justice: Towards a digital spatial justice

Abstract

<p>In light of the challenges surrounding the conceptualizationand definition of spatial justice within our increasinglydata‐driven society, this article commences an inquiry intothe convergence of space, justice, and data within humangeography literature and related disciplines, focusingnotably on the urban field. The paper outlines theoriesconcerning social justice‐based rights to the city, especiallyemphasizing the significance of existing literature thatbridges such theories with recent scholarship on data jus-tice. It supplements these discussions by deriving a theo-retical framework for digital spatial justice rooted in otherspace‐based theories, exploring the more‐than‐humanrealms of non‐human entities, affect, and information.<br></p>
