“…According to McWilliams (2015: 49) and hardware (e.g. computers, fibre optic cables, servers) -that produce the digital realm (see Kinsley 2014). London-based platforms thus benefit from 'the halo effect' of 'the whole Shoreditch story', both mobilizing the material-technological knowledge that has built up in this area and 'appearing attractive to VCs hunting for tech offerings so long as, well, so long as they could put out good numbers' (i.e.…”

“…Rural geographers have highlighted rural-urban divides (Puel et al 2007;Basu & Chakraborty 2011) and community aspects of rural connectivity and ICTs (Warren 2007;Skerratt 2010) whilst elsewhere the 'embeddedness of ICT use in the geography of people's daily lives' (Gilbert et al 2008, p. 912;Couclelis 2009) has been stressed. Given the materiality and unevenness of these digital geographies (Zook & Graham 2007;Spinney et al 2012;Kinsley 2014), there is considerable scope, then, to think through the spatial implications of digital inclusion, adoption and tools in terms of rural resilience.…”

This paper explores how an evaluative framework of resilience might be utilised to assess the impact of new digital technologies. This paper outlines key themes and indicators from recent literature on community-level and rural resilience and incorporates insights from work on digital inclusion and rural information and communication technologies to build a framework of rural community resilience. It then highlights a successful case study carried out by the Digital Engagement and Resilience project and describes some of the methodological challenges that can be encountered in cross-cutting evaluative work in a digital economy context. Finally, it contextualises this work in the current policy climate of rural digital agendas to stress the growing need for holistic and critical approaches to 'resilience'.

“…In their book Code/Space, Kitchin and Dodge (2011) call for more specific studies of software in action (see also Kinsley 2013). This paper has responded to that call by exploring the creation of computer-generated images of an urban redevelopment project.…”

“…From Graham and Marvin's pathbreaking book Splintering Urbanism (2001)to Kitchin and Dodge's Code/Space (2011)and beyond, over a decade of scholarship has explored diverse relationships between digital technologies and urban spaces (for reviews see Burrows and Beer, 2013;Dodge et al, 2009;Kinsley, 2013).…”

Networks, Interfaces, and Computer-Generated Images: Learning from Digital Visualisations of Urban Redevelopment Projects

2014

1 networks, interfaces and computer-generated images: learning from digital visualisations of urban redevelopment projects abstract Over the past five years, computer-generated images (CGIs) have become commonplace as a means to market urban redevelopments. To date, however, they have been given relatively little attention as a new form of visualising the urban. This paper argues that these CGIs deserve more attention, and attention of a particular kind. It argues that, instead of approaching them as images situated in urban space, their digitality invites us to understand them as interfaces circulating through a software-supported network space. The paper uses an Actor-NetworkTheory understanding of 'network' and argues that the action done on and with CGIs as they are created takes place at a series of interfaces. These interfacesbetween and among humans, software and hardware -are where work is done both to create the CGI and to create the conditions for their circulation. These claims are explored in relation to the CGIs made for a large urban redevelopment project in Doha, Qatar. The paper concludes by suggesting that geographers need to reconsider their understanding of digital images and be as attentive to the interfaces embedded in the image as to the CGI's visual content.
