The datafication of water infrastructure and its implications for (il)legible water consumers
Redevelopments of Lima’s water infrastructure aim to reduce inequalities in water consumption, connections, and coverage by implementing data technologies and claim to make urban water management more efficient. However, little research has been done on how the city’s hydrosocial geography is shaped by the increasing use of data for the supervision and control of its water infrastructure. This article analyzes the datafication of Lima’s water inf…
Expert-Amateurs and Smart Citizens: How Digitalization Reconfigures Lima’s Water Infrastructure
In Lima, residents are fundamental co-creators of the urban water infrastructure, taking up various roles in the operation, maintenance, and expansion of the water distribution system. As Lima’s potable water company presses the transition from decentralized and auto-constructed to centralized and digital, this article explores how the implementation of digital infrastructure reconfigures the role of residents in the water distribution system. Ou…
People’s strategies for perceived surveillance in Amsterdam Smart City
In this paper, we investigate people’s perception of datafication and surveillance in Amsterdam Smart City. Based on a series of focus groups, we show how people understand new forms of hypervisbility, what strategies they use to navigate these experiences, and what the limitations of these strategies are. We show how people tried to discern between public and private sector actors, to differentiate who they trusted by building on the existing so…
Cross-cutting challenges to innovation in land tenure documentation
Since around 2011 pilot projects to innovate land tenure documentation are being implemented in various countries in the global south in order to address the shortcomings of formal land registration. A longer-term question, underlying the present study, is how these innovations relate in the longer run to existing institutional arrangements of land governance in the respective context of implementation. Guided by this more general question, we di…
Making space legible across three normative frames: The (non-)registration of inherited land in Ghana
Exploring the “implementation gap” in land registration: How it happens that Ghana’s official registry contains mainly leaseholds
The Power of Smart Solutions: Knowledge, Citizenship, and the Datafication of Bangalore’s Water Supply
While plans to develop “smart cities” are gathering pace across the world, we know little about the ways in which the discourses of datafication, smartness, and big data play out in material contexts of urban development, including utility and resource management. In this paper, we explore this intersection in the case of Bangalore’s water supply, where IBM in alliance with the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) is implementing a w…
In-Tensions to Infrastructure: Developing Digital Property Databases in Urban Karnataka, India
Digital property databases are being developed across Indian cities. There are intentions to develop these into state-wide information infrastructure. Recently, the Delhi State Spatial Data Infrastructure was launched, which evolved from a property database. Because these efforts are recent, little research exists on the problems involved and the consequences of the development. Through a lens of information infrastructure (II) theory, my aim is …
