Paper of D\u00f3ra B\u00e1lint and Ildik\u00f3 Egyed “Platform-attracting urban places \u2013 distribution and characteristics of ridesharing meeting points through a Hungarian case study” has been published.
\nThis analysis of a Hungarian ridesharing platform demonstrates that meeting points are not only clustering near strategic transport corridors and city centers but are also emerging in informal spaces, such as hypermarket parking lots. By identifying these patterns, we introduce the concept of \u2018platform-attracting urban places\u2019 to describe how digital mediation assigns new functional roles to traditionally non-transport-specific areas. This research contributes to the growing field of platform urbanism by providing an empirical snapshot of how software-driven coordination reconfigures the physical use of the city.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
