ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on urban data platforms that provide digital data produced by one urban group as a basis for decision-making by a consumer group. It presents a brief review of urban platforms, leading into the presentation of the platform justice model. For the idea of platform justice to have meaning and relevance, there must be some injustice that the ethical standards of justice would seek to remedy. The chapter illustrates this through reference to the digital platforms and slum communities. Platform justice could be derived from a number of different perspectives building, for example, on the ideas of various different philosophers of social justice such as Amartya Sen or Iris Marion Young. The chapter describes five dimensions of platform justice: procedural, instrumental, rights-based, structural, and distributive. Platformisation is a key trend within urban development; with effects growing every day across an array of urban sectors.
