This book explores the recursive interaction between socio-spatial practices and the late introduction of internet in three marginalized rurban communities in Brazil and in the UK. It brings to the fore challenges that cross North-South divides to propose an open theory of the connected rurban.
Author Biography
Lorena Melgaço is an urban scholar navigating the multilevel entwinement of digital technologies and the production of space, especially in the postcolony. Her research interests include the micropolitics of socio-spatial and technological peripheralisation; the intersections of technological dependency, capitalist production of space, and the socio-environmental crisis in planning; and the challenges of planning education and practice from a socio-spatial justice perspective.
