This book explores how the COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped urban spatialities through the rise of digitally mediated âtemporal spacesâ in Calcutta. Focusing on Uber-enabled mobility, cycling pathways, and caf©s, it examines how digital infrastructures and human practices intersect to create fluid, dynamic urban experiences. Challenging fixed notions of place-making, the book interrogates what it means to âreturn to normalâ and how digitality reconfigures urban life, sociality, and imagination. By foregrounding the entanglement of digital and material realms, it offers a critical framework for understanding contemporary urban transformations in the wake of crisis and technological mediation.

Part of the Academics, Politics and Society in the Post-Covid World series, this book will be useful for scholars and researchers of sociology, social anthropology, media and cultural studies, digital humanities, human geography, political sociology and post-colonial studies, and those interested in the coronavirus pandemic.
