This article deepens the particular analysis of platformization understood as an urban issue. Platforms take advantage of population density, spatial proximity and the economy of specialization present in cities. In addition, they take advantage of urban infrastructure and equipment, are inserted in urban markets and require the availability of skilled and unskilled workers to operate. The study of platformization from an urban perspective, therefore, requires an approach to the issues, limitations, and challenges in the urban governance of platforms as a nodal topic of urban studies in the second half of the 21st century. This paper proposes some lines for understanding the main challenges of urban policy in the platform era. El avance de la economía de plataformas en las ciudades produce externalidades en los mercados y sectores en los que se inserta, favorece la transformación del espacio urbano y genera nuevos conflictos que se desprenden, en parte del uso cotidiano de las plataformas por parte de los civitas, y en parte, por la transformación de las plataformas en infraestructuras que conectan y desconectan lugares, sujetos, flujos y cuerpos. Este artículo profundiza el análisis particular de la plataformización entendida como un problema urbano. Las plataformas se valen de la densidad de población, la proximidad espacial y la economía de especialización presente en las ciudades. Además, aprovechan y usufructúan la infraestructura y equipamiento urbanos, se insertan en mercados urbanos y requieren de la disponibilidad de trabajadores calificados y no calificados para desplegar su operatoria. El estudio de la plataformización desde una óptica urbana, requiere, por lo tanto, un abordaje de las problemáticas, limitaciones, y desafíos en la gobernanza urbana de plataformas como un tema nodal de los estudios urbanos en el segundo lustro del siglo XXI. Este trabajo propone algunas líneas para pensar los retos principales de la política urbana en la era de plataformas.

| description |
The advance of the platform economy in cities produces externalities in the markets and sectors in which it is inserted, enhances the transformation of urban space and generates new conflicts that arise partly from the daily use of platforms by citizens, and partly from the transformation of platforms into infrastructures that connect and disconnect places, subjets, flows and bodies. This article deepens the particular analysis of platformization understood as an urban issue. Platforms take advantage of population density, spatial proximity and the economy of specialization present in cities. In addition, they take advantage of urban infrastructure and equipment, are inserted in urban markets and require the availability of skilled and unskilled workers to operate.
The study of platformization from an urban perspective, therefore, requires an approach to the issues, limitations, and challenges in the urban governance of platforms as a nodal topic of urban studies in the second half of the 21st century. This paper proposes some lines for understanding the main challenges of urban policy in the platform era. |
