Data Justice and the Right to the City delve into the intricate interplay between social justice theories and data-driven urbanism, shedding light on the multifaceted concerns that arise in the datafied society. It delves into the critical examination of data justice, encompassing both the potential harms and the remarkable civic opportunities that emerge from our increasingly digital world. At the same time, it raises the urgent demand for the right to the city, a call to address the unequal distribution of resources and rights in urban contexts. This comprehensive exploration is addressed through a diverse range of topics, including digital social services, where cities employ data and algorithms to serve their citizens; education, where data-driven practices revolutionize learning and higher education; labor, where platforms create new uncertainties and risks for workers; and activists who strive to make innovative and political interventions in these evolving developments. This edited collection serves as a valuable resource, offering frameworks for understanding the impact of data-driven technologies at the municipal level and proposing strategies for intervention by scholars and citizens alike.
