Digital-Algorithmic Urban Governmentality: ‘Borders Through Cities’ and ‘Cities Through Borders’

Q: What is digital-algorithmic urban governance as defined in this paper?

Digital-algorithmic urban governance is a method of managing various urban elements through the utilization of digital technologies and algorithms, a phenomenon that originated in border operations and has expanded across the city to encompass crime, traffic, infrastructure, and mobility. It aims to maintain urban flows through predictive control and to identify and eliminate individual anomalous elements.

Q: How is the logic of the border being applied in modern cities?

The research findings indicate that modern cities operate by adopting the logic of the border to manage individual anomalies while maintaining overall flows. This implies that cities have internalized mechanisms that allow the influx of necessary migrants while simultaneously filtering and controlling those deemed unnecessary.

Abstract· Keywords

This paper argues that the significant transformations, occurring in contemporary (Korean) cities can be understood through the lens of governmentality. In particular, digital-algorithmic technologies, when combined with governmentality, have transformed the role of the apparatuses of security and discipline. These changes are exemplified by two phenomena emerging in contemporary urban areas— mechanisms that detect and control individual abnormal factors while maintaining overall circulation— which have become core operational principles of cities these days. First, contemporary cities have become both key areas and apparatuses of internalized borders that extend national borders into domestic territories. As such, cities function as sites that sustain the flow of ‘necessary’ migrants while ‘screening out’ those deemed ‘unnecessary,’ relying on their physical and administrative infrastructures (what I refer to as borders through cities). Second, in many cities across Korea and the broader society, this border logic has been adopted as a mode of urban governing. Rather than simply restricting the movement of people and things, cities are evolving into sites of governance that encourage flows while controlling individual irregularity (what I refer to as cities through borders).
