Abstract
This paper seeks to contribute to debates about how urban, social and
critical theory can conceptualise the socio-technologies of connection,
resilience, mobility, and collapse in contemporary urban space. The paper offers
a theoretical frame for conceptualising this New Urban Condition, focusing on
themes of mobility, power, flow, network and scale. The analysis suggests the
importance of close atention to the knowledge claims which are deployed in
multi-level struggles to assert smooth futures in face of
dysfunction.
