Nomad Movements and Digital Impacts in Cities

Over the past decade, the expansion of the so-called platform economy has accelerated the digital transformation of our daily lives. At the same time, a cohort of new workers linked to these platform economies, characterized by high levels of geographical mobility, are central actors in the transformation of consumption patterns, urban lifestyles, leisure activities, and work culture in numerous cities across the globe. NOMADIC is a training and policy-oriented project involving an international, cross-sectoral, and interdisciplinary network that aims to promote an adaptive, inclusive, sustainable, and equitable urban future, thereby reducing inequality and segregation in the selected cities (and beyond). Objectives: - To understand the dynamics and impact of digital nomadism in urban environments. - To build a network of stakeholders and experts. - To develop policy guidelines and best practices to design strategies that promote sustainable and inclusive urban environments. - Provide excellent training and supervision. NOMADIC raises: a) explore and characterize the lifestyle, consumption, and everyday life of high-tech and gig workers and their connection to socio-cultural urban change; b) analyze how these new social practices are related to the platformisation of urban life; c) formulate digital-related engagement and empowerment actions for community liveability and social inclusion, seeking an adaptive, inclusive, sustainable, and equitable urban future that aims to reduce inequality and segregation. NOMADIC is an international, intersectoral, and interdisciplinary network from across Europe and the Americas that will join forces to develop a cross-cutting study that explores and understands the multiple impacts of digitalization, platformisation, and the emergence of technological nomads on urban life.
