DESCRIPTION:Not since the era of the family farm has such a large fraction 
 of the employed population worked from home. The spike in remote work due 
 to COVID-19 pandemic is temporary\, but it highlights an underlying trend.
  Remote work at home and in “third” places such as cafes\, hotels\, an
 d airports has been enabled by access to wireless networks and mobile clou
 d computing collaboration software. Such a spatial and temporal fragmentat
 ion of related work activities is not available to everyone\, but it affec
 ts an increasing fraction of the population. It features prominently in po
 pular images of the future of work. This presentation examines how the rel
 ationship between space\, technology\, and the workplace has developed ove
 r time\, how power relations embedded in these overlapping physical and cy
 berspaces constrain our behavior\, and what novel ethical and equity conce
 rns arise in the emerging smart city. It relies on original interview and 
 observation data from the New York (USA) metropolitan area augmented by na
 tional statistics. Findings include identification of multiple points wher
 e control of overlapping physical and cyberspaces either enables or preven
 ts the fragmentation of work activities. These carry important implication
 s for those who work in the smart city and those who design it.\n\nSpeaker

X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>Not since the era of the family farm has s
 uch a large fraction of the employed population worked from home. The spik
 e in remote work due to COVID-19 pandemic is temporary\, but it highlights
  an underlying trend. Remote work at home and in &ldquo\;third&rdquo\; pla
 ces such as cafes\, hotels\, and airports has been enabled by access to wi
 reless networks and mobile cloud computing collaboration software. Such a 
 spatial and temporal fragmentation of related work activities is not avail
 able to everyone\, but it affects an increasing fraction of the population
 . It features prominently in popular images of the future of work. This pr
 esentation examines how the relationship between space\, technology\, and 
 the workplace has developed over time\, how power relations embedded in th
 ese overlapping physical and cyberspaces constrain our behavior\, and what
  novel ethical and equity concerns arise in the emerging smart city. It re
 lies on original interview and observation data from the New York (USA) me
 tropolitan area augmented by national statistics. Findings include identif
 ication of multiple points where control of overlapping physical and cyber
 spaces either enables or prevents the fragmentation of work activities. Th
 ese carry important implications for those who work in the smart city and 
 those who design it.</p><br /><br />Agenda: <br /><p>1:00 - 1:40pm (EST) I
