This matters because cities often design and promote these systems for certain residents and not others. User-facing digital services tend to cluster in certain neighborhoods, while city-led infrastructure, such as bike-sharing, shows a more equitable distribution.
In a new paper, we show that where you live matters as much as who you are. Using survey data from four very different neighborhoods in Tel Aviv, we find that neighborhood context explains technology adoption far better than demographics alone. >>
Urban technologies, such as digital resident platforms like Tel Aviv’s DigiTel or parking apps, are now common in cities, yet adoption remains uneven despite major public investment. >>
We’re happy to announce that our paper, “Place Matters: Neighborhood Effects on Smart City Service Adoption,” has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Urban Technology. >>
