City on Demand

In the June 2024, Alessia Allegri attended the ‘36th AESOP Annual Congress 2024: GAME CHANGER? Planning for just and sustainable urban regions’ promoted by the AESOP, Paris, to present the article “CITY ON DEMAND: When the digital dimension takes shape”, in co-authorship with Rita Ochoa. Based on the research project “Intermittent City: Temporary Uses and Sharing Practices to support and Adaptive Urban Space” the presentation focused on the analysis of the socio-spatial conditions and objectives of temporary uses and sharing practices, with a specific emphasis on the concept of ‘Platform Urbanism’. Platform urbanism is explored through the lens of architecture and urban studies, with a keen interest in unraveling the spatial dimensions of platforms—the tangible spatial, formal, and material aspects of platform urbanism. The central query revolves around how platform logics materialize in urban settings, encompassing spatial, material, and formal aspects.
