UrbanFrictions project explores the theme of algorithmic frictions experienced by users of digital platforms, through the case of workers and consumers of delivery platforms in Lisbon Metropolitan Area (LMA). On-demand delivery platforms are clearly spreading and directly interfere in urban space and in the subjects’ possibilities of action, emerging as central mediators of consumption and work. It is crucial to explore the algorithmic frictions experienced by their users. There is a gap in the literature on how subjects' socio-spatial practices and relationships are mediated by the platforms, as well as how this experience emerges in asymmetrical power relations, with various frictional dimensions.
