Tracing the (hidden) spatialities of digital agendas: the case of ‘Digital Hungary’

Tracing the (hidden) spatialities of digital agendas: the case of ‘Digital Hungary’

Policies that aim at bringing about a digital transformation (seek to) create the conditions for particular spatial development trajectories. Yet, the understandings, explicit and implicit, of space advanced by digital agendas have remained rather underexposed to date. This paper addresses this gap...
