The right to the digital city: The role of urban imaginaries in participatory citymaking

This study investigates how digital technologies enable citizens to challenge dominant practices of urban decision-making by helping them experience, imagine and shape the city. Developed through three case studies, the research presents an ethnographic exploration of the social, spatial and technological interactions of ordinary citizens, grassroots organisations, and cultural institutions in Brisbane, Australia. This project revisits the concept of citizenship and contributes towards the establishment of alternative principles for community engagement and political participation.
