Putting the digital growth machine in place
A growing body of scholarship has raised important concerns about the swelling power of the technology industry in the politics of urban development. Yet in helpfully sounding the alarm, some scholars have risked obscuring the variegated ways that tech sector growth has been politicised and materialised in different places and times. To allow for greater attention to variety and the specificity of places, this article proposes that digital growth…
Making Sustainability Concrete
Sustainability" is an increasingly fashionable design criterion for celebrity corporate architects, their clients, and the governmental bodies that regulate urban development. Yet determining if and how a building is actually sustainable remains controversial, with different actors positing qualifications that are often at odds with each other.

This book documents the life of the school from its planning stages to the graduation of its first eighth-grade class. It is the account of how this …

Appendix. Ethnographic Fixations
From differentiated use to differentiating practices
Prevailing approaches for studying relations between digital media and social inequalities focus on ‘differentiated uses’ of digital media. Since differences in access do not fully account for differences in use, many scholars have proposed that differences in digital skills, or related concepts such as literacies, help explain the discrepancies. By implication, interventions aimed at equalizing digital access and skills should help ameliorate ga…

The article is based on an in-depth ethnographic study of the launch of a progressive New York City public middle school. The school aimed to integrate twenty-first-century digital technologies and skills into the curriculum while promoting student-centered learning and social equity. The article argues tha…

It offers a condensed version of a longer treatment provided in the book Hanging Out, Messing Around, and Geeking Out (MIT Press, 2009). The authors present empirical dat…
