<p>Dear all,</p>
<p>a gentle reminder that my research team at the Center for Digital
Cultures, Lüneburg, and I are hosting a conference on "Urban
Speculations - Cities, Technologies, Futures" early next year and
wanted to share this Call for Conference Papers with you all!</p>
<p>We'd like to warmly invite you contribute until July 1 as well as
to share the call with those who might be interested beyond this
mailing list. Free child care will be available as well as limited
slots to participate online. For more details, please see the call
below or have a look at <a
href="https://logistical.city/conference/"
moz-do-not-send="true">our website.</a></p>
<p>I hope to see some of you there!<br>
Maja-Lee<br>

style="font-family: "Oswald Light";" class=""
lang="EN-US">Cities brim over with speculation. Urban
futures are conceived, dreamt of and calculated through
a wide variety of speculative practices and in their
social, cultural, political, economic and technological
dimensions. Finance banks on rising asset values; data
brokers predict future traffic flows; security
consultants claim to preempt crime; logistics companies
prefigure demand; all the while the city’s incessant
sociality imagines and produces a multiplicity of urban
futures. </span><span

<p class="MsoNormal"

style="font-family: "Oswald Light";" class=""
lang="EN-US">Where finance has long speculated on cities
(Komporozos-Athanasiou 2022; Leitner and Sheppard 2023),
and the city has served as a playground for sociological
thought (Amin 2013, Lefebvre 1996[1968]) and more
recently data science (Townsend 2015), the city has also
become a test bed in the register of smart cities and
platform urbanism (Halpern et al. 2013). In disparate
fields, such as the automated management of risk in a
data-security calculus (Leszczynski 2016) or in
autonomous driving where the very sociality of the city
is put to the test (Marres 2020), speculation has become
a technological practice, where futurity is calculated
on the basis of data, and technologies are designed to
remake the city.</span><span

<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin: 0cm 0cm 12pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; line-height: 12.65pt;"><span
style="font-family: "Oswald Light";" class=""
lang="EN-US">At the same time, the actors involved in
urban speculation have expanded, from urban planners to
data scientists and smart city consultants to Big Tech.
Consider Amazon’s ‘logistical city’ (Rossiter 2016): its
prediction algorithms map consumer desires along
neighborhoods; its expansion of last mile delivery
infrastructure speculates on present and future demand;
and its patents conceive of an automated future
populated with delivery robots, drones and flying
zeppelin warehouses (Stewart 2018). Through tests and
experiments, technology – married to financial
speculations such as those of venture capital invested
in platform companies – is deployed to speculate on
cultural, social and economic life in the city, and thus
puts a claim on cities’ technoscientific futures. </span><span
style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"
class=""></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin: 0cm 0cm 12pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; line-height: 12.65pt;"><span
style="font-family: "Oswald Light";" class=""
lang="EN-US">In these and other ways, speculation – the
technological, financial, legal and social capacity to
act in the present against a set of future possibilities
– becomes mundane. At the same time, the social,
cultural and political implications of what it means
that the city has in many ways become the basis for
speculation remain to be enumerated. In particular,
notions such as prediction, resilience or preemption
structure much of the debate around techno-urban
developments and operationalize the logics of platform
urbanism nowadays. As technological speculation stakes
its claim to shaping urban futures, how do cities
respond and what is at play in letting companies like
Amazon prototype (logistical) cities’ futures?</span><span

style="font-family: "Oswald Light";" class=""
lang="EN-US">Besides an applied focus of urban
informatics or smart cities, science and technology
studies, media studies and urban studies must grapple
with the everydayness of the ways speculation remakes
cities. To do so requires both methodological
adjustments and conceptual developments concerning the
speculative imaginaries of prototyping, testing, demoing
(Halpern and Günel 2019), of patenting (Hlongwa 2020),
and investing. How has Big Tech normalized and
monopolized speculations on urban futures? What do these
futures (potentially) look like? How do urbanites
interfere in these mostly black-boxed prophecies and
business models? And how are anti-speculations /
speculative otherwises performed?</span><span

contributions that explore urban speculations from
transdisciplinary and diverse perspectives. We seek to
gather an interdisciplinary community of scholars of
urban informatics and smart cities, science and
technology studies, media studies, spatial and urban
studies, critical data studies, organization studies and
critical geography, to weave together empirical and
conceptual insights on the many ways in which
speculation is shaping urban space and politics.
Contributions from feminist/queer/decolonial
perspectives as well as early career scholars are
particularly welcome. We also encourage methodological
experiments and innovations for researching urban
speculations ranging from media histories, to
ethnographies of infrastructures and digital
ethnography, to speculative methods and beyond.</span><span
