ABSTRACT

The chapter explores the complex interactions between urban surveillance and mobility, highlighting how today digital technologies, whether mobile themselves or fixed in place, control and regulate movement within and in-between cities. This discussion is structured into three main parts, relating to (1) separation and access control, (2) the management of humans and non-humans on the move and (3) the internal organisation of interconnected places. From this perspective, the city is portrayed as a complex system of separations and connections, in which differing spatial logics of surveillance support, modify, limit and indeed co-produce each other.
