Decolonising the digital city

Our lives and experiences are increasingly mediated by our access to digital technologies and exchanges across digital platforms, especially in urban settings.

The legacy of colonialism is still deep-seated in the social and physical infrastructure of our cities, urban spaces and digital landscapes. It continues to shape our experiences across gender, generation and social class.
