在过去的十年里，众所周知的“共享经济”出现了爆炸式增长，最明显的可能是在交通领域。数字“共享出行”平台，如Uber、Car2Go和摩拜单车，以及新兴的、更复杂的“移动即服务”平台，将多种离散的服务协调到一个单一的门户网站中，已经成为重塑北美、欧洲和东亚城市日常城市交通的重要模式。本文旨在探讨这种城市交通平台化的驱动力和具体表现，作为更广泛的平台城市主义的一个特别多样化和多变的组成部分。基于对全球200个城市交通平台数据库的构建和分析，我们强调了平台形成的五个关键轨迹，重点关注了推动这一领域增长的企业、机构和社会利益，以及它们所需要的基础设施组织、空间形成和治理模式。我们进一步强调了这种特殊形式的“空间固定”的脆弱性，以及一种更重新分配的平台城市主义形式的前景。最后，我们反思了对未来研究的影响。
The past decade has seen an explosion in what is popularly known as the “sharing economy,” perhaps most visibly in the realm of transport. Digital “shared mobility” platforms like Uber, Car2Go, and Mobike, as well as emerging, more sophisticated “mobility-as-a-service” platforms which coordinate multiple discrete services into a single portal, have risen to prominence as modes of reworking everyday urban transport in cities of North America, Europe, and East Asia in particular. This paper aims to explore the driving forces and concrete expressions of this platformization of urban mobility, as a particularly diverse and volatile component of a broader platform urbanism. Based on the construction and analysis of a database consisting of 200 urban mobility platforms drawn from across the globe, we highlight five key trajectories of platform formation, focusing on the firms, institutions, and social interests that have fueled the growth of this sector, and the modes of infrastructural organization, spatial formation, and governance that they entail. We further highlight the fragility of this particular form of “spatial fix,” and the prospects for a more redistributive form of platform urbanism. We conclude by reflecting on implications for future research.
