*Geographies of Digital Exclusion: Data and Inequality
*By Mark Graham and Martin Dittus
Today’s urban environments are layered with data and algorithms that
fundamentally shape how we perceive and move through space. But are our
digitally dense environments continuing to amplify inequalities rather
than alleviate them? This book looks at the key contours of information
inequality, and who, what and where gets left out.
Platforms like Google Maps and Wikipedia have become important gateways
to understanding the world, and yet they are characterised by
significant gaps and biases, often driven by processes of exclusion. As
a result, their digital augmentations tend to be refractions rather than
reflections: they highlight only some facets of the world at the expense
of others.
This doesn’t mean that more equitable futures aren’t possible. By
outlining the mechanisms through which our digital and material worlds
intersect, the authors conclude with a roadmap for what alternative
digital geographies might look like.
