Reviews

"""The Platform Economy and the Smart City is an important reference work for practitioners and researchers interested in how technology platforms are reshaping cities and how city governments are responding to these challenges, either oppositionally or by embracing technology to become 'smart cities.' The book does an admirable job of highlighting the benefits, risks, and negative impacts of technological change and policy shifts."" Zack Taylor, University of Western Ontario and author of Shaping the Metropolis: Institutions and Urbanization in the United States and Canada"
