“…Some studies indicate that ICT not only changed the rural life, attitude, and the pace of life of rural villagers [21] but also effectively incentivized sustainable consumption behaviors [26,27]. Other studies argue that ICT infrastructure and production networks form the foundation of rural ecommerce development [25]. Given the research interest of this work, more attention is paid to the related research of ICT and rural e-commerce.…”

“…As such, community actors (e.g., local government) are suggested to provide training and education to other rural community members (e.g., merchants) to increase the probability of rural e-commerce success. Prior research also identifies other important determinants, such as Internet use [29], social media [16], and social networks of rural migrants [25] and government support [30].

The emergence of e-commerce has rejuvenated backward and poor remote villages. This paper presents a revelatory case study of three remote villages in China to depict how information and communication technology (ICT, specifically e-commerce) can empower remote areas to thrive. With the concept of affordance as basis, this work identifies critical actors in the development of rural e-commerce (i.e., Taobao Village) and illustrates how they use ICT. Eight deterministic affordances of the same ICT used in the evolution of rural e-commerce are specified, and three evolution paths about how ICT empowers the formation and development of rural e-commerce are depicted. This paper also describes the challenges of the current development of rural e-commerce. The findings of the study are discussed, and suggestions on how to capitalize on ICT for rural e-commerce development are offered. INDEX TERMS rural e-commerce, ICT-enabled rural development, affordance, Taobao Village, case study.

“…Platforms such as City Brain are examples of the shift from smart urbanism, with its focus on Big Data analytics and centralized digital governance systems, and towards a form of urbanism that, while not excluding other aspects of the smart city, places platforms (which may or may not be specific to a particular city) at the centre of the urban (governance, consumption, regulatory, etc.) experience (Lin 2019 ; Rose et al 2020 ).…”

We analyse an urban platform (Alibaba’s City Brain) to show how smart city development is evolving in urban China. In order to do so, we base our analysis on two strands of literature: that on platform urbanism, and on the experimental city. The paper identifies two processes that are shared across both bodies of work on platform urbanism and experimental cities: relational co-production and territorialisation. These processes can also be applied to the case of City Brain as both a platform and an urban experiment. We conclude by reflecting on the significance of urban platforms on the co-production of data-enabled urban governance; local urban context; and citizenship.
