| Title | The Right to the City in the Platform Age: Child-Friendly City and Smart City Premises in Contention |
| Year | 2020 |

| Abstract | This article sought to develop a critical account of the ever-increasing role of ICTs in cities and urban governance discourses, captured by a growing interest to 'smarten up' our cities, for their inclusiveness of citizens more broadly, and that of children, in particular. In revisiting rights-based approaches, it gives particular attention to the (political) premises of two urban concepts, that is, child-friendly cities and smart cities. The focus here is on how these current concepts encompass and direct the make-up of children ' s relationship to the city, which brings the question to the fore of 'whose version is it?' A predominant provider ' s perspective and a normative discourse are revealed which seem to overlook emergent logics of children ' s social needs and experiences in the city. It is therefore proposed to revisit and revise our existing ideas, thus critiquing the current potential of the emerging 'rights-based' agendas in improving outcomes for children by urging cities to become child-friendly in their smart city ideals. |
