Food delivery has become one of the leading causes of industrial accidents in Korea. Our new study uncovers how AI-driven management pressures riders into fast, high-stakes deliveries, compromising traffic safety and reshaping cities. @FraukeBehrendt https://t.co/hQBOw7idf2

New from @ChangHanbit and @FraukeBehrendt:
Algorithmic bosses force food delivery workers in Seoul to choose: risk your life or lose your job.
“I end up speeding and violating traffic regulations since clients are watching my location through GPS.”

[Hanbit Chang @ChangHanbit]

@urbgeog Our study contributes to debates on platform and AI urbanism by highlighting how profit-driven algorithms reshape worker autonomy, and traffic safety. We hope it sparks further conversation on the costs of algorithmic management in mobile experiences in cities

Our analysis of 175 newspaper articles (2014–2022) shows that AI acts less like a tool and more like a “boss,” compelling riders to prioritize speed over safety. Riders feel pressured to take risks, often leading to unsafe practices and traffic violations. @urbgeog

When life imitates Instagram, where are you? It may be hard to tell. @ChangHanbit and Bas Spierings explore the Instagrammable experience and gentrifying effects of Seoul’s specialty coffee bars.

At #AAG2024 I presented how the introduction of light electric vehicles for parcel deliveries in the city center can change the streetscape and socio-spatial interaction. The working paper will be presented at Turku #NESS2024 in June!

Tomorrow I present my preliminary findings at #AAG2024 about using light electric vehicles for parcel delivery in Dutch city centers. Looking forward to the inspiring discussion at #mobilitytransition session! 🌈🌴

What happens when micromobility meets AI? In last mile delivery? @ChangHanbit @ESCF_nl @TUeEAISI @TUe_TIS @_Micromobility_

[Hanbit Chang @ChangHanbit]

@MichaelChesnut2 Thank you for sharing! I also enjoyed your archive of linguistic landscape in Korea. It was (and still is) interesting for me to see how all those coffee places even without signs get popular through Instagram!

[Hanbit Chang @ChangHanbit]

@AJuseyo Hi, thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts. I couldn't discuss everything but it is true that this cafe-hopping is very gendered and aspirational labor, as shown in many studies on social media and specifically Instagram. Still hope you enjoy coffee experiences in Seoul!

@buebenja @UUGeo @SGPL_UU @ElsGeogPlan Thank you! And also for the cookie🍪
